I'm not confused, lower case isn't a 2119 keyword.  Or rather I
_wasn't_ confused until Ira and you started.  There are quite a
lot of lower case "must", "required", and "should" in RFC 2119.

You're not trying to overrule Bruce Lilly, or are you ?  The
last time it took you, Bill, Dave, Ned, and Brian.  And then
you still approved his informational RfC clearly saying "2234"
instead of "2234bis".  Gotcha... ;-)
