Let's see. You initially post a statement about Internet history that gets
the time and players wrong.
Then you post a clarification that cites lots more detail, some of which
you still get wrong.
Conformance discussions like the current one have been regular fodder for
Internet mailing lists for, perhaps, 15 years. They crop up every couple

As a consequence, citing the current occurrence as being for new reasons is
entirely unfounded.
And wrong.
