Thanks for the correction. I also had in mind contributions to mailing lists where the Note Well - eg the one sent out to this list on 1 January 2009 - references RFC5378 (or not as is the case in other settings) rather than BCP78. I am unclear whether this is by design or whether it is something that has yet to be brought in line with current thinking. Isn't it complicated?
