Hi Julian,

Sorry, I should have looked at the comparison, the 'IP address' error is 
picking up on a section number that went to the next line and does not have 
Section in front of it.  This is fine.

As for the pre-2008 message, I can't see why that is getting picked up by 
idnits, but it is just a warning.

The for the third one, in RFC2616, the header says that it 'obsoletes' RFC2068 
as opposed to saying it 'updates' RFC2068.  I am not sure how this one should 
get handled as RFC2068 is listed as obsolete and referencing it may be an 
issue.  Was there a decision to deprecate this functionality when the RFC was 
revised?

Maybe either Jari or Barry have an opinion on how to handle the last one.

Thanks,
Kathleen

No, there aren't.

No, it doesn't (why does idnits think so?)

RFC 2068 currently is the only document that defines LINK/UNLINK. The
only thing we can do here is to declare all references in the
registrations to be informative, but I really really don't see why it
would matter here.

Best regards, Julian
