/*!\page rfc2119 RFC2119 Keywords The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt">RFC 2119.</a> Specifically, the following definitions are used: \section MUST \anchor REQUIRED \anchor SHALL This word, or the terms "REQUIRED" or "SHALL", mean that the definition is an absolute requirement of the specification. \section MUSTNOT MUST NOT \anchor SHALLNOT This phrase, or the phrase "SHALL NOT", mean that the definition is an absolute prohibition of the specification. \section SHOULD \anchor RECOMMENDED This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course. \section SHOULDNOT SHOULD NOT \anchor NOTRECOMMENDED This phrase, or the phrase "NOT RECOMMENDED" mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances when the particular behavior is acceptable or even useful, but the full implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before implementing any behavior described with this label. \section MAY \anchor OPTIONAL This word, or the adjective "OPTIONAL", mean that an item is truly optional. One vendor may choose to include the item because a particular marketplace requires it or because the vendor feels that it enhances the product while another vendor may omit the same item. An implementation which does not include a particular option \ref MUST be prepared to interoperate with another implementation which does include the option, though perhaps with reduced functionality. In the same vein an implementation which does include a particular option \ref MUST be prepared to interoperate with another implementation which does not include the option (except, of course, for the feature the option provides.) */
