essentially every single IETF document for many years to come?
That's exactly the point I was trying to make in the post that Bob
responded to; every document that was in-process prior to 5378 is
going to have to carry this "We don't know" boilerplate.
I'm OK with that, and think that the revised working looks to be
acceptable, although John's argument about the strength of assertion
seems reasonable ( "We can't say you can copy it" is more realistic
than "You cannot copy it").
