While it is hard to argue that this document is historical, this is is one of many documents that were essentially snapshots of IANA procedure from that era, principally authored by IANA personnel. While today IANA may publish such procedural documents in other forms, such as on our website, this is from a time when publishing an RFC with Informational status was the norm. I would suggest rather than singling out this document in isolation for this treatment, we should develop a principled understanding of whether informational documents of this nature should be marked as historic, and then reclassifying status consistently across all of them. kim _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
