<Rohn EP instructions: "Stake all nuts", what
does it mean?

Instead of a PAL nut, you could just double nut it.  You could also use a 
nylock nut
instead of the PAL nut.   Or just use a nylock period, then  no need for a PAL 
nut,
2nd nut, or  thread locker.  UST  uses  Nylock nuts galore on their crank up 
towers. 
They dont loosen up.   What bothers me on the Rohn and other towers is the use 
of
nuts  bearing down onto a round surface.  They really shoulda used a   super 
thick custom
washer, that  conforms to the curvature of the tower leg used..then put a 
nylock  on top.
