Ah, you mean RFC 2476. 2476 is a _proposed_ standard. Since it hasn't
moved since 1998, I think it is a _dead_ proposed standard. It is just
another in a list of gratuitous changes that are shown by experience to be
a waste of time and effort, as their proponents tilt at windmills trying
to invent a protocol which can't be subjected to abuse and will prevent
human behavior.
So, I guess a statement has been demonstrated to be false, but it wasn't
mine.
