UCM — use the RFC 2119 vocabulary

Open Closed All
  • Key: UCM-71
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    Many sentences are not assertive enough: they use words like "can". The document should use "shall", "shall not", "may", "should" and "should not".

  • Disposition Summary:

    use the RFC 2119 vocabulary and be more specific

    many occurrences of “can”, “will”, “could”, etc. are used in the normative specification and are thus too vague. They must be replaced by accurate words like “may”, “shall”, “shall not”, “should”, “should not”
