[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

Use of IETF BCP 14 terminology
------------------------------

                 Key: CMIS-35
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CMIS-35
             Project: OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Julian Reschke
            Priority: Trivial


Example: "These capabilities and interfaces will not match every existing content management system and MAY require some level of change to existing products, at least in terms of conforming"

The terminology defined in IETF BCP 14 (RFC 2119) should be used solely for the purpose of defining requirements. Please do not use it anywhere else, and also please use is sparingly:

"6. Guidance in the use of these Imperatives

   Imperatives of the type defined in this memo must be used with care
   and sparingly.  In particular, they MUST only be used where it is
   actually required for interoperation or to limit behavior which has
   potential for causing harm (e.g., limiting retransmisssions)  For
   example, they must not be used to try to impose a particular method
   on implementors where the method is not required for
   interoperability." -- <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119#section-6>
