This seems like a step backwards to me. That MUST is a requirement that wasn't present before. An earlier statement is "Virtually all players and media frameworks should apply it by default.", which I think is the appropriate guidance.
I agree with Ian. The point was to clean up usage of an un-capitalized RFC 2119 keyword that we all agree was not meant to be normative. We shouldn't be adding NEW normative requirements in its place.
We have not to this point had any problem getting players to apply the output gain by default with the current spec language (and Greg Maxwell's test files that tell people their player is broken if they don't implement this). We've had to cajole a few, but once we have, I believe it has been fixed in every case.
