These things need to be clearly explained to the naive implementor.
I've been deliberately copying the list with all of my questions (sorry
for the spam) so that we can have a record. Now somebody (somebody with
strong nerves) needs to go through my recent flurry of epistolar activity
and decide, for each of my questions, whether I'm just being stupid or
whether this deserves a clarification. In case of doubt, clarify.
I realise I'm being a pain, especially since it contradicts our motto
"it was difficult to write, there's no reason it should be easy to
read".
For what it's worth, I fully agree with you. This was what I meant by my
earlier comment that there is a lot of valuable information in the heads
of the implementors/designers that isn't written down in the drafts as
they stand right now.
Remember also that this is intended to be a protocol that's being
implemented and run by a lot of different vendors who do not have a great
track record of writing and maintaining excellent software (to put it
mildly). Any help given to them to get their implementations right is very
valuable.
