And, if I correctly understood it at the time, that is exactly why the RFC Editor opposed the idea of formal errata for years. If there were real, substantive, errors, a replacement RFC should be published as soon as practical. For anything else, the most that was desirable would be a collected list of comments and suggestions that could be considered if/when the document was revised. john
