An interesting fact is that the RFC Editor process is particularly hot on "that"/"which". This may be a function of the use of copyeditor function since these folk tend to care about English usage and for them (and for me) it *is* much more than "neither here nor there". It could even have an impact on meaning in an RFC. A _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
