use of RFC2119 in introduction #515

Closed mnot closed 3 years ago

mnot commented 10 years ago

In P5's and P7's introduction sections, we use "OPTIONAL" to say that either the whole feature optional (P5), or that some aspects are optional (P7: support for specific schemes).

Proposal: in both cases just lowercase the "OPTIONAL" and be done with it.

We occasionally use RFC2119 keywords before they are defined.

Need to decide whether this is a problem that needs to be fixed.
