I feel this is an excellent change.  This style should be followed throughout.

The problem with 'needs to' and 'MUST' in the same document is that 
it leaves the reader this little puzzle to puzzle over:  What is the 
normative difference between 'needs to' and 'MUST'?  Why is 'needs 
to' used here and 'MUST' there?  Is 'needs to' weaker than 'MUST'? Is 
'needs to' stronger than 'SHOULD'?

Cordially, Joaquin
