Draft-ietf-metadata-00 makes extensive use of RFC 2119 language. At present this is an Informational document (although that does not necessarily prevent the use of RFC 2119 language), but eventually we anticipate incorporating the format material, and as a result the document would target a Proposed Standard. The format stuff clearly has to be implemented by SRCs and SRSs, so I would expect normative language around those aspects. However, to draw a clear distinction between what has to be implemented and what is just abstract we probably need to refrain from RFC 2119 language when just describing the abstract model. Views?
