This seems pretty clear to me, and perhaps it's been the only clear
thing in this discussion so far. 2119 was published in 1997 and aside
from a typo (that does not seem to have caused confusion, for whatever
that's worth) there haven't been a lot of complaints. Thumbs up on
correcting typos, and both thumbs down on using the process of
correcting a typo to reopen a "SHOULD/MAY" rathole, or even a "NOT
RECOMMENDED" rathole. I'd rather let the typo stand. I don't think
the putative benefits of revising 2119 justify the effort.
