Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out on this one. I was doing a bit of analysis on the current RFC list, and noticed that some Draft Standard documents are obsoleted. For example: 954 NICNAME/WHOIS. K. Harrenstien, M.K. Stahl, E.J. Feinler. Oct-01-1985. (Format: TXT=7397 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC0812) (Obsoleted by RFC3912) (Status: DRAFT STANDARD) This really made me scratch my head. One would imagine if a protocol is obsoleted by another, it would not be listed as a Draft Standard any longer. What is the reason for continuing to list something obsolete as a Draft Standard?
