Eliot,
a few examples:
For IDN, I want to be able to extract the tables from RFC 3454 and use
them in my implementation.
For Kerberos, I want to be able to use the ASN.1 schema in my
implementation, and copy the terminology section into my manual.
For SASL, I want to incorporate portions of the introduction section
from the RFC into my manual, to make sure some terminology is
explained correctly.
For GSS-API, I want to be able to copy the C header file with function
prototypes into my implementation.
I believe the copying conditions in RFC 2026 give me these rights, but
I have not yet seen anything similar in RFC 3667. I am still looking,
though.
=> I understand better your concern: the problem is about pieces of
code which can be extracted from an RFC, the cannonical example is
a MIB. This is covered in RFC 3667 by 5.2, 5.6 and 7.1e which I
give here:
e. the right to let third parties extract some logical parts, for
example MIB modules
So at least your concern was not forgotten...
