A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Non-Normative Synonyms in RFCs Authors : Tony Hansen D. Crocker Filename : draft-hansen-nonkeywords-non2119-04.txt Pages : 4 Date : 2016-02-26 Abstract: Specifications in RFCs contain normative keywords, as defined in RFC 2119, to signify requirements, permission or prohibitions. These include MUST, SHOULD and MAY, which are commonly recorded in all CAPITALS (but need not be). The RFC 2119 words are sometimes also used with non-normative meaning; this non-normative usage can be confusing and it is better to restrict the RFC 2119 words to be used solely as normative directives. Happily, natural languages permit variation in phrasing, so that meaning can be retained without use of this otherwise-normative vocabulary. For such situations, this document provides some alternatives to the normative vocabulary of RFC 2119. The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hansen-nonkeywords-non2119/ There's also a htmlized version available at: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hansen-nonkeywords-non2119-04 A diff from the previous version is available at: https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-hansen-nonkeywords-non2119-04 Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
