But, Ralph, if we publish as an Informational RFC, which is *NOT* a standards track document, how will utilities reference this into a NAFTA Chapter 10, article 7 compliant RFP? (Well, they can, because NAFTA tribunal lawyers do not understand our nomenclature. See other thread...) They will have to write "RFC-c1222-TCP or equivalent", which means essentially, it can be provided by C12.22-over-RS422-on-chicken-wire. I think that the SmartGrid directorate should adopt this document. -- ] He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life! | firewalls [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works, Ottawa, ON |net architect[ ] mcr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/ |device driver[ Kyoto Plus: watch the video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzx1ycLXQSE> then sign the petition. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
