Scott,
That is precisely the sort of statement / additional sentences I
was looking for. Thanks.
Barry, if you could add Scott's paragraph, I think all of the
requirements (as well as my personal aesthetic sense) would be
satisfied and we would avoid setting any precedents of moving
documents to Internet Standard with handwaving, rather than
specifics, about deployment.
thanks again,
john
