Experience from documents produced by other SDOs is one reason why I find the IETF document format rather outstanding. It forces us to do better specifications which can be easily read by anyone, at any time, in any environment. /L-E _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
