Subject: RE: Naming crap (Re: IESG review of RFC Editor documents)
Personally and from observation it would appear RFCs are stand alone
documents that do not get revised. They get superseded by new RFCs
covering
the same topic. Perhaps the way to approach this particular issue
is to
provide better navigation aids through the various RFCs so that it
is easier
for users to find all the related documents showing the relationship
(timeline and validity) between the documents. A more involved and
comprehensive document management system.
Yes, exactly, and if anyone following this thread has not read
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-loughney-what-standards-01.txt
yet, that's unfortunate. John Loughney is faithfully working this
issue, without a lot of feedback, positive or negative, and he is SO
right.
My suggestion is to read this draft and provide feedback on Newtrk
(http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/newtrk.html).
Thanks,
Spencer
