ietf-nntp "MIGHT" in section 4.1.1

Section 4.1.1 has:

    If the client is not authorized to use the specified facility when the
    server is in its current state, the response code 502 MUST be
    returned.  A different command MIGHT change the server state and
    permit the command if it is retried.

I think that should be either "might" in lowercase or "MAY" in uppercase,
as MIGHT is not one of the RFC 2119 terms.  I think "MAY" is probably
correct there.
