Description Maciej Stachowiak 2010-02-14 06:31:28 UTC 
I think it would read better if section 3 Conformance Requirements appeared before any sections that include conformance requirements that use the keywords. Section 2 has a should-level requirement and section 2.1 has some may-level requirements.

Status: Fixed

Change Description: 

The Conformance Requirements section appears before any normative section now:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/rdfa/drafts/ED-rdfa-in-html-20100502/#conformance

Rationale:

Submitter is correct, this was an oversight. The document should describe the conformance criteria (including how to use MUST, SHOULD, etc) before any normative section.
