Re: [CARD Editorial Issue] Standards Language

Hello again Jim,

While I believe that a _protocol specification_ should use the
capitalized language, I do _not_ believe that language is at
all appropriate for a requirements document.  So, I cringe
a bit when I read a sentence like "A protocol satisfying the
requirement in this section MUST have a security feature".
It seems quite out of place for me.

And, again, it doesn't matter whether the requirements
document is standards track or not.

The same considerations appy even more strongly in the
context of a problem statement, in my opinion.

Regards,
Charlie P.
