i was thinking about this off and on the last few days, and this is
probably an excellent example of the <dfn> element.

<dfn title="This word, or the terms 'REQUIRED' or 'SHALL', mean that
the definition is an absolute requirement of the
specification.">MUST</dfn>

<dfn title="This word, or the adjective 'OPTIONAL', mean that an item
is truly optional.">MAY</dfn>
