Hi Dale/Richard, Thanks for the quick response. I am happy with the RFC editor manual edit solution. I was just playing around with the xml and I found that the following formulation of the reference *does* provide the URL in the text and the html versions. I used
<reference anchor="kyzivat-2" target="https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/sip-implementors/2008-September/020426.html";> instead of the current <reference anchor="kyzivat-2"> ... <format type="TXT" target="https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/sip-implementors/2008-September/020426.html"; /> Thanks Suresh On 10/14/2013 03:37 AM, Richard Barnes wrote: > This sounds like something we could take up with the RFC Editor? > > > On Sat, Oct 12, 2013 at 12:51 AM, Dale R.
