Telnet protocol is indeed as you describe but what is a URI? STD66 defines it as an identifier of a resource and allows much flexibility as to the nature of that resource so I see it as part of a namespace which makes these RFC more like an IANA action, cataloging the identifier and its semantics. What constitutes an implementation? A web browser that parses it successfully? Is this even Standards track? I don't know:-( <snip> _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
