Yes, yes, yes!!! This is a great idea! And let's have a consistent meaning for MUST/SHOULD/MAY (ideally, one which parallels the RFC usage for simplicity): MUST is RC if it's not done, SHOULD - hmm, is this RC or not? Could have two meanings: "RC if not done, unless there's an exceptional reason not to conform", or "Will be RC in the future, so get ready!" Perhaps we could disambiguate these two possibilities?
