the filing date is October 10, 2003.  I think that means, if

only one year from invention date to file the patent and
prior art is going to have to be before invention date.

Interesting point.  I tried to find the oldest RMX draft, but
that would be not old enough (Dec 2002):

For the obvious PRA algorithm Std 11 / RfC 822 were published
in 1982, so this part of PRA probably is prior art.  Bye, Frank
