What I say is broken is that RFC's are being used as referral points outside
of the IETF and they are specifically prohibited from that by IETF Policy
from what I can tell. What this also does is places a real-world value on a
gettng an RFC however which is further complicated by  WG Chairs who get to
decide what is advanced  as a RFC - bluntly because of this I think that
their actions are or may be tantamount to restraint of trade.

Standards Organization should have.


As to the Sherry, I dont drink it per se. Although an occainsional shot of
