You are way above the cluon level of the general MCP who is "Internet
Expert" at the web hotels we deal with. And therein lies the core of
the problem. Do we operate the net as if it was still only operated
by skilled people who know what a RFC is and even has read one, or do
we accept that we might have to use a little less elegant solution in
order to increase yield? Most of us wearing the Protocol hat would go for
perfectionism. But some who do actual work might opt for function..
