I tend to disagree that this "problem" is worth fixing. RFC layout
rules have changed in the past and there is no reason to believe they
will not change in the future. From the experience of the documents I
have edited or read, I don't recall that I ever spend much time due to
the location of say RFC 2119 language.

I am, however, a strong believer of running code. So if someone
manages to hack xml2rfc such that it spits out MIB specific
boilerplate when you set a MIB directive, this would be a real
contribution and as a side-effect solve the "problem".
