The -04 with date June 03 ?  I'm not sure what Scott checks,
but Bruce could note that "SHALL NOT" is defined but not used.

I hope you're not trying to capitalize all "should", some are
in examples, or all "must" (e.g. "special thanks MUST go to"
etc. would be nonsense... ;-)

And if they'd insist on it roll your own terminologoy, start
with STRONGLY (for SHOULD), VERY REALLY (for MUST), FOO (for
SHOULD NOT), and FOOBAR (for MUST NOT).  

"Informative" reference:  RfC 3092, the etymology of "foo".
Unfortunately it doesn't explain XYZZY (for MAY-be not).  Bye.
