I don't think there is much hope for getting such folklore
documented... A significant
subset of these consist of problems that could have been
readily addressed by minor modifications to the protocol
specification, but which for political reasons never
happened.
I disagree.. This type of thing was exactly why RFCs 1122 and 1123 were
created. If it's not already described in RFC-1123, perhaps it should
be considered as one of the items to be added.
