That's the same as in RFC 7322, but doesn't reflect what we actually do:

 > [RFC-STYLE] Flanagan, H. and S.  Ginoza, "RFC Style Guide",
 > draft-flanagan-style-01 (work in progress), June 2013.

If you're serious about that, you should open a change request for xml2rfc.

(FWIW, I don't see how the format proposed here is better than the one 
we've been using for ages).

Best regards, Julian
