Sigh. Is there something in RFC 2119 that says the keywords must be uppercased? I didn’t find it. It’s common practice, but if it’s required, where is the requirement stated? In RFC 3986, I see no uppercased words; I don’t believe that that shows it to have no normative content. ******************************************** C. M.
