Regarding the 2119 wording, I (personally) prefer your rewording
of it, since those "requirements" are kind of just the design
principles that were aimed for and (as you note) not protocol
conformance requirements.  However, there are many RFCs that
do use 2119 capitalized words for requirements statements, and
there are mixed opinions about it, even in the IESG ... so, it
would be passable either way.  That said, I suspect it will be
smoother sailing if your suggested rewordings are applied :).
