Of course, any sensationalist could twist it that way, but the act of
*publishing* it was a while ago (once, 1969, and once again 1999). This is
just about *recognizing* a document that has turned out to be surprisingly more
useful in the last 15 years than it must have seemed when it was republished
just for historical completeness in 1999. (And given that the date on it is
still 1969, it is clear that this doesn’t retroactively supersede BCP 18 (RFC
2277) or RFC 5198).
