[A quick trial of the random RFC tool.] An interesting historical snapshot of the early days of hypertext systems before WWW/HTML/HTTP had come to dominate everything and how they might be relevant to academic users. It even predates Internet Explorer!
Mainly interesting for its lack of interest in security (mentioned in passing 3 times in 70 pages: twice to say that client side scripting won't be done in two separate systems including WWW because of security issues - well, it was half right - we now have scripting *and* security issues - and one comment that security would be needed for publication of commercial information) and being totally oblivious of any privacy concerns. Significant for Internet archaeologists and evolutionary biologists but not something that needs to be updated. Just thank your lucky stars (or not) that WWW used SGML/HTML rather than ISO MHEG part 1 coded in ASN.1. _______________________________________________ ietf-privacy mailing list ietf-privacy@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-privacy
