Dave:
The document says:
(Full) Internet Standard: The Internet community achieves rough
consensus -- on using the running code of a specification.
This causes me pause, because it does not say that the RFC was sufficient
to produce interoperable implementations.
Perhaps this is a problem with the words that were selected, but it might
be a fundamental concern. I can't tell from the draft. Please explain.
