-Conformance requirements using RFC2119 keywords only apply to a "user agent" implementing the specification (i.e., "A user agent MUST..." or where the context is obvious). There are no other conformance classes/objects (e.g., "Developers MUST..." would be wrong).

-In this specification, RFC2119 keywords (MUST, SHOULD, MAY, etc.) are only to be used in conformance requirements that apply to the "user agent" implementing the specification (e.g., "A user agent MUST..."). No other conformance classes or objects (such as "Developer") are defined, so using these keywords for other entities is incorrect.
