Since I am new to IETF standardization and after reading draft-ietf-urnbis-rfc3188bis-nbn-urn-02.txt there is a question I would like to ask.... In the text 'SHOULD' and 'should' are used as well as 'MAY' and 'may'. Is this intentional and are there a difference in understanding lower-case versus upper-case words (ie. upper-case is interpreted as stated in RFC 2119 and lower-case is a less strict use of the word) or should the use of lower-case words (in this case) be considered a 'typo' that should be corrected to upper-case (and as such be interpreted according to RFC 2119)?
