I was also under the impression that a lot of RFCs are *not* "IETF RFCs", since the RFC editor will publish certain types of RFCs without them having gone through an IETF process. RFC as a document series is not the same thing as "the IETF's publications"; the IETF publishes its final products as RFCs, and so do some others, including individuals. -- Cos _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
