Is there really something unclear about the boilerplate update in Section 2?:

   Authors who follow these guidelines should incorporate this phrase
   near the beginning of their document:

      The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", and
      "MAY" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
      BCP 14 [RFC2119],[RFCxxxx] when, and only when, they appear
      capitalized, as shown.

That is suggesting that we *call* this "BCP 14", and that the
citations be to RFC 2119 and to this document.  That makes it clear
that 2119 applies, as updated by this.

> It seems that retaining section 1.1 might be worth it.

Perhaps, though I don't think it really has archival value.  Do others
think it should be retained?

That's a good point, and I will look into what this might need to say
with respect to the XML markup.
