With all the respect to John, he is not among the original authors of NETBLT 
RFC.
Wonder if you can tell me who are the other people that you contacted?

It was not meant to. It's for discussion and comment.

As I already quoted this in my earlier msg: RFC998 stated clearly that 

   This document is published for discussion and comment, and does not
   constitute a standard.  The proposal may change and certain parts of
   the protocol have not yet been specified; implementation of this
   document is therefore not advised.

I am confused here:
in your message posted on Jan 7 (2 days ago), 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg65041.html
you said

As for NETBLT, I am strongly against moving it to Historic, rather than 
specifying by Standards Track Document. There has been one attempt to do that 
by John White in 1995 (see draft-white-protocol-stack), but IMO (that likes 
strange, but...) we can align this document with the most current needs of 
Internet and publish.

Mykyta

but now you changed your mind?
