Most people don't even realize the errata exists. So if you go about saying "RFC XXXX says 'blah'", and 'blah' was part of the errata, then others whoe only have the original RFC (most people) are going to be confused or think you are an idiot.

As this is a cumbersome process, it is only done for big problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
