I think it would be much more useful if we could update the
document sufficiently to consider the telnet URI scheme
for Draft Standard or Full Standard.
The protocol itself meets the qualifications for a full
Standard document; it is widely deployed with multiple independent
implementations and has been quite stable for a long time.
I think the document itself needs a better discussion of
the limited use, security risks, and implementation methods
for the user/password fields in a "telnet" URI, however.
