When I look at BCP-14 or RFC2119 I do not see any distinction for
categorizing MUSTs into main MUSTs or MUSTs under optional features.


*1. MUST   This word, or the terms "REQUIRED" or "SHALL", mean that the
 definition is an absolute requirement of the specification.*

While technically sound I am not even sure if any optional feature can have
any mandatory MUSTs which apply only when someone chooses to implement such
a feature.

In such cases IMO it would be much cleaner to just separate those features
into separate documents and still MUST be a top level normative clause.

Many thx,
R.
