OK, but I doubt that that would affect the case-insensitivity issue that is the subject of the draft. In any event, on reviewing the one citation in the text to that reference, I see that it's a chronological reference rather than substantive. The first DNS RFCs were RFCs 881-883, ca. 1983, so it's a bit misleading to point to a document which was at that time a decade and a half old, and by which time changes made in the early 70's were a decade old. Not a big issue in any event. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
