BCPs aren't informational RFCs, for an introduction see RFC 4677 or <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments#Status>. Maybe you confused BCP with FYI, RFC 1855 is also known as FYI 28. FLAME ON: It's now 12 years old, and some parts are rather silly: Be careful with monospacing fonts, and be sure to have a signature which you attach to your message. FLAME OFF (flame tags recommended by FYI 28). Frank _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
