Re: Last Call: 'Email Submission Between Independent Networks' to BCP

2005-06-09 19:07:29
 The current document purports to be a candidate for BCP and yet it
 recommends a practice which is clearly no longer appropriate.

clearly?

please provide a citation to any sort of official consensus statement that
establishes this clarity.

you seem to be confusing two things - technical quality and community consensus. both are necessary conditions for approving the document. but they are not the same thing.

or to put it another way -
a) it should be clear to you that CRAM-MD5 has known weaknesses that would make it
unlikely to be suitable for BCP
b) it should also be clear to you that a BCP candidate that recommends CRAM-MD5 is
unlikely to gain consensus
