I had trouble getting past the Early Modern English tinge of the language used in this. It’s fun, but it distracts from the comprehension in attempt to just sound epic. It’s fine if you’re writing literature, but it comes off sounding uppity in a practical doc for devs. Writing is not just about conveying something in a mood you wish to set. Study how Richard Feynman and Warren Buffett communicated to their audiences; part of their success is that they speak to their people in the language all can easily understand.

What do you mean? The document seemed incredibly digestible to me.

Are you speaking about words like “shall”? I didn’t notice them, but In RFCs those are technical terms which carry precise meaning.
