The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1685 ====================================================================== Reported By: geoffclare Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: Issue 8 drafts Issue ID: 1685 Category: Front Matter Type: Error Severity: Objection Priority: normal Status: New Name: Geoff Clare Organization: The Open Group User Reference: Section: Referenced Documents Page Number: xxxvi-xxxvii Line Number: N/A Final Accepted Text: ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2023-04-25 09:38 UTC Last Modified: 2023-04-25 09:38 UTC ====================================================================== Summary: RFC references need updating Description: Some of the RFCs we reference have been superseded. We should change to refer to the new ones.
We list RFCs 791, 2292, and 2460 in the Referenced Documents section, but there are no references to them. I have found suitable places to reference 791 and 2460 (actually 8200 which obsoletes 2460), but I don't see the need for a reference to 2292 since it concerns the use of raw sockets over IPv6 and XSH 2.10.6 says of raw socket datagrams that "the formats are protocol-specific and implementation-defined." So application writers need to refer to an implementation's documentation to see how to use raw sockets anyway (which might well say it supports RFC 2292, but on the other hand it might not). Without an actual reference to it, 2292 should be deleted from the list (otherwise the introductory text "The following documents are referenced in POSIX.1-202x" will be untrue). We have also added references to RFC 6557 within the text but not added it to the Referenced Documents section. Desired Action: On page xxxvi para 6, delete:<blockquote>IETF RFC 822<blockquote>Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages, D.H. Crocker, August 1982 (available at: www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0822.txt).</blockquote></blockquote>and delete the "Notes to Reviewers" below it. On page xxxvi last para, delete:<blockquote>IETF RFC 1886<blockquote>DNS Extensions to Support Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6), C. Huitema, S. Thomson, December 1995 (available at: www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1886.txt).</blockquote></blockquote> On page xxxvii para 5-7, delete:<blockquote>IETF RFC 2292<blockquote>Advanced Sockets API for IPv6, W. Stevens, M. Thomas, February 1998 (available at: www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2292.txt).</blockquote>IETF RFC 2373<blockquote>Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Addressing Architecture, S. Deering, R.
