everyone--

After just now finding the root cause of yet another stupid interoperability 
problem to be an interaction between a client not choosing a sufficiently 
unique host/session identifier and a server being overly clever about using 
said identifiers for purposes other than intended in the protocol 
specification...

WHEREAS the IETF has no document category for dealing with material that is 
unfit for Standards Track, that does not in any way describe Best Current 
Practice, provides Information of questionable utility, which is neither yet 
limited to Historical interest nor of merely Experimental nature...

BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that IETF should create a new document category for 
Disinformation, and that RFC 2516 should immediately and with extreme prejudice 
be reclassified as such without further discussion.
