Also is it "should" or "must"? RFC documents are usually very strict about defining "should" etc and I don't see a definition of "should" before page 41 of the pdf where this use occurs.

I think explicitly adopting these definitions would be a good step in improving the clarity of the ECMAScript standard.

Other recent standards have referenced this rfc explicitly, For example,

In principle I agree. However, ECMA has its own usage guidelines that we will need to make sure we conform with.

It isn't so important who is defining these terms but the source of the definitions should be present, and the document should conform.
