But note that RFC 2119 says:

    In many standards track documents several words are used to signify
    the requirements in the specification.  These words are often
    capitalized.  This document defines these words as they should be
    interpreted in IETF documents.  Authors who follow these guidelines
    should incorporate this phrase near the beginning of their document:

...so the magic lies in the keyword, not in the uppercasing.
