| 20 | +<t> |
| 21 | + In many standards track documents several words are used to signify |
| 22 | + the requirements in the specification. These words are often |
| 23 | + capitalized. This document defines these words as they should be |
| 24 | + interpreted in IETF documents. Authors who follow these guidelines |
| 25 | + should incorporate this phrase near the beginning of their document: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +<list> |
| 28 | +<t> |
| 29 | + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL |
| 30 | + NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and |
| 31 | + "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in |
| 32 | + RFC 2119. |
| 33 | +</t></list></t> |
| 34 | +<t> |
| 35 | + Note that the force of these words is modified by the requirement |
| 36 | + level of the document in which they are used. |
