Thanks for your comments on these drafts! I'll be reviewing your emails and will respond shortly with more details.

I do find the uses of SHOULD in the Security Consideration section kind of odd. Use
of RFC 2119 keywords should be limited to specification of implementation requirements.

If so, then RFC 2119 should be revised to incorporate that limitation, as I don't see that stated in 2119, and I observe in recently published proposed standard RFCs the use of RFC 2119 terminology in the security considerations sections to make statements beyond implementation requirements, e.g., RFC 4875 "Specifications of applications within the IETF MUST specify this mechanism" or RFC 4872 "RSVP signaling MUST be able to provide authentication and integrity".
