I'm fine with getting rid of the RFC2119 language, but having some generic advice about RTP payloads.  Since there is no draft ready or in the works to fix this problem where it should be fixed, I do think it's a good idea to address the concern here and going forward.  Once it's fixed int eh right place, then references and text changes going forward.

There is some guidance in draft-ietf-payload-rtp-howto-13 sections 7.2 and A.13 for payload format text. That draft is in the RFC Editor queue, but I'm sure Magnus would be pleased to receive feedback if the suggestions there are not clear.
