Hi,
There is a list of acronyms at
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-style-guide/abbrev.expansion.txt
Those marked with a star do not need to be expanded in any new I-D or RFC.
Those not marked need to be expanded on first use in the Abstract and in the
main body of the text (the Abstract is supposed to be free-standing).
Over time, the RFC Editor adds stars. I suspect they are susceptible to
lobbying.
May I suggest that if any doucument at any stage of publication has
Acronyms/Abbreviations that are susceptible to non-expansion at the time of that
publication MUST have this url in the document .
Sure might aleave the need for my & others requests for 'What's this ...
mean?' questions on this and many other lists .

I think the doc already makes this clear, maybe I'm not sure what you are
asking.

And this makes sense to you?
Okay, I will expand the occurrence of "S-PMSI" in the abstract.
On the issue of the maximum UDP packet size, I think that is an implementation
issue and I don't think it is appropriate to raise it in this document.
