Why? I have to admit that this makes me giggle, like seeing the Original Words in gilt lettering. But my question is serious.

This is going back some years now and I do not recall in what way the
documents were corrupt but it would likely be to do with the format,
such as not respecting the ASCII control characters such as I got last
week when an RFC was turned into a stream without formatting. I said in
my first post that the ASCII control characters has been elided and that
is an overstatement - I have not looked at the hex to see if they are
present, just noticed that it is as if they were not longer there, no
new lines, no new pages, running heading and footing all forming a
stream with the content. That was RFC282 (yes two hundred)
