I too am looking forward to this
list of problematic terms that
the IETF should have blackballed.

Since I use white text on a black screen, it is misnamed anyway! It's
blackspace for me!

We should call it blancspace obviously.

I also remember they had excellent coffee at IETF 95 Buenos Aires
at a place called Negro and it felt like a weird name to me until I
learned some more Spanish :P


Joking aside, Niels does bring a valid point, and it would be nice if we
got some guidelines for avoiding these existing known words, and prevent
us from creating new problematic ones.
