Yesterday, "message/tracking-status" appeared in the IANA registry for MIME
message media types (http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/message/).
It lists "RFC-ietf-msgtrk-trkstat-05.txt" as the reference document -- of
course there is no such document. The closest existing document is a draft
dated March 2003, more than a year old ("Internet drafts are valid for six
months").
Why on Earth did this suddenly appear yesterday?
The ietf-msgtrk mailing list appears to be dormant; in the last three months
the only message to appear on that mailing list's archive are spam messages
(http://www.imc.org/ietf-msgtrk/mail-archive/maillist.html). There are fewer
than a dozen message in the mailing list archive in the past year, spam
included.
What's going on?!?
