It seems like this issue has clearly been the source of disagreement/misunderstanding, so +1 from me too. The harder question is precisely what changes should be made. Oh please.
Don't be to quick to judge -- I think applying the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity might be in order (and not just in this particular sub-thread). There may be quite a bit of wiggle-room for interpretation here, but... (see below)
Otherwise I'm all for (+1) spelling out that the PvP is following RFC2119; there's no harm for being crystal clear about this.
Maybe you should just officially propose a simple amendment to the PVP stating this and we'll see how many (or: if any) of the originators of the PVP (dis)agree? Of course, we'll also see how many other interested parties (dis)agree. Personally, I'd weigh the opinions of the originators significantly more heavily of course, but this *is* a pseudo-democratic process, so let's see what happens :) Regards,
