We adopt several conventions in the BAPS3 specification.
We use the following typographical conventions:
Bold text is used either as a paragraph heading, or to introduce a key word with special meaning (see below);
Italics are used for emphasis;
Fixed-width type is used for command words, code snippets, and other
text intended to be consumed by a computer.
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 RFC 2119.
Note that the RFC 2119 key words are highlighted in this document by the use of bold face, as opposed to the capitalisation suggested in RFC 2119. Any instance of such a key word that is not in bold is not intended to be interpreted as per the RFC.
