Then you have to think about all use of "must", "should" etc. in
terms of RFC2119.  For reference I've got drafts which quote
documents with RFC2119 semantics but have not cited RFC 2119.

There is also nothing preventing the use of RFC 2119 in BCP or INFO
documents.  The use of RFC 2119 does not imply standard.
