Do you have examples of this ? mature FOSS (attempted to be) republished as an informational RFC where the process was unhelpfull ? Curious. I would consider rsync an ideal example why i am disagreeing: I think its very mature in theory, but every time you dare to interoperate different versions, not even to say different implementations, i was often in for a fail. Not to mention ASCI-8859-UDF issues and the like. Aka: I would be happy if there was a good spec for rsync, and even more so if there was an attempt of implementations to become compliant with a good spec. Toerless
