Nowhere. I was showing that the treatment in RFC 2046 was not in line with
the treatment of references outside of RFC 2046.

The many people with knowledge of how Usenet works and is implemented who
have so stated on this WG (e.g. Bill Davidsen within this last week), and
in numerous other discussions of the topic in other fora. All of which
lead directly to its inclusion in our draft. IOW the general "folklore"
which currently describes how Usenet works, and of which you yourself seem
to be so woefully ignorant, and which the WG is supposed to be hammering
into some coherent whole - carfully documenting all those things which
everybody seems to take for granted, but which were never actually written
down.
