[Tools-discuss] idnits bug re RFC2119/RFC8174

[Alissa Cooper]

idnits seems to be issuing a warning about RFC 2119 for this document even though it has the RFC 8174 boilerplate: https://tools.ietf.org/idnits?url=https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-regext-org-11.txt. Might be due to a line break in the boilerplate.

No, the text used in draft-ietf-regext-org-11.txt does not match that given
in RFC 8174. The 8174 boilerplate mentions "NOT RECOMMENDED", this draft
does not. A minor point is also that the spacing doesn't match. I don't
recall how lenient I've made idnits with regards to boilerplate spacing,
though.

Point of potential interest: If you are using kramdown-rfc2629, use

{::boilerplate bcp14}

to get the exact text from RFC 8174 plus the two reference entries in one swoop.
