The weird resistance to providing the information in a useful format may have made sense some time in the past when people actually used dot matrix printers. Not using URIs here is just another silly tradition that the IETF has acquired and will be insisted on regardless of whether it makes sense or not. Like barnacles on a boat, pointless traditions may appear to be harmless decoration at first. -- New Website: http://hallambaker.com/ View Quantum of Stupid podcasts, Tuesday and Thursday each week, http://quantumofstupid.com/ _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
