(as an individual)

To make sure people don't overlook it, I want to extract from my LC
comments that there are a couple of places in the URN namespace
registration where I think it would be better to use "MUST" rather
than "must", because we want to make sure that implementers meet those
requirements.

    - 4.  URN Specification for the "alert"  namespace identifier

       Process for identifier resolution:  The process of identifier
	  resolution is the process by which a rendering device chooses a
	  rendering to represent a sequence of "alert" URNs.  The device is
	  allowed great leeway in making this choice, but the process must
    ------------------------------------------------------------------^^^^
	  obey the rules of Section 8.1.  The device is expected to
	  provide

    I think this requirement is sufficiently important we should impress
    implementors that it is a requirement.

	  Future standardization may allow <alert-label>s
	  that are A-labels, and so interpreters of "alert" URNs must
    -------------------------------------------------------------^^^^
	  operate correctly when given such URNs as input.

    Similarly, I think we want to use "MUST" here.
