(This comes from here, btw.)
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 RFC2119 RFC8174 when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. https://github.com/etclabscore/jade/blob/master/VERSIONING.md#jade-project-versioning
It's supposed to reduce the ambiguity by clarifying that only UPPERCASE usage of the key words have the defined special meanings
Yep,cool.
For me the MUSTs and SHOULDs are distracting. I don't understand why people insist on capitalizing them. Normal lowercased prose, anyone?
