Based on the above and my own instincts, I'm tentatively making that change in the working draft. It seems to me that, as Barry suggests, it would be helpful in some cases and, absent adding another line or two to an already too-long document, harmless in any others. However, as I suggested above, Murray or the WG should decide whether, to maintain consistence between the two documents and in RFC metadata, a late patch should be made to rfc5322bis. IMO, it would be quite sad (as well as a waste of IESG and RPC time) to see an errata report posted within hours after rfc5322bis is published pointing out the omission. thanks, john -- last-call mailing list -- last-call@xxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to last-call-leave@xxxxxxxx
