In the Language section of KSO/RFC0000, you defined hard and soft requirements, which use "must [not]" and "should [not]" respectively.

I propose the use of RFC2991 for that.

In the [Language](https://code.chipmunk.land/kaboom-standards-organization/rfcs/src/branch/main/rfcs/0000-Genesis_RFC.md) section of [KSO/RFC0000](https://code.chipmunk.land/kaboom-standards-organization/rfcs/src/branch/main/rfcs/0000-Genesis_RFC.md), you defined hard and soft requirements, which use "must [not]" and "should [not]" respectively. I propose the use of [RFC2991](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2119) for that.

Yeah, that RFC is the inspiration for the language section.

However, I'm not really sure what exactly you mean by using RFC2991 for that. Do you mean linking to the RFC or paraphrasing from the RFC?

I wrote "soft" (as in not required, but recommended) and "hard" (as in absolutely required) in the RFC as I think those are two concepts most English speakers should be able to grasp, although perhaps in retrospect I should have elaborated on that...

I've opened a pull request where I have added explanations for what I meant by soft and hard requirements in the RFC.

I believe Dinhero means RFC2119 (Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels), not RFC2991 which is about unicast.

The hyperlink they posted does in-fact link to the correct RFC, so I didn't notice this. Good catch.
