It might be a good idea, then, to put something like the following in
at the beginning of the section:

[[IESG Note: This section is for readers with a background in W3C
specification style, of which we expect many.  RFC Editor, please
remove this note before publication.]]

This will avoid the same question/complaint from ADs during IESG evaluation.

I also suggest that you move the 2119 paragraph to the end of the
section, to keep all three compliance-related paragraphs together.
