Because of the importance of the Internet in general, I would
suggest that RFCs include a legal considerations section for aiding
lawmakers, where relevant.
I really don't think it's a good idea for us technonerds to be giving
legal advice. Just think of the technical advice that lawyers would
give us, and then ask yourself why ours would be any better.
Besides, which jurisdiction(s) would the legal considerations be for?
I guess the point would be to direct future legislation, rather than to try
to reflect current legislation. But, I don't think that RFCs are a great
place to lobby for legislation.
