RFCs - insufficiently free?
This is the reply that nails the problem. I knew that if I looked, I'd find one, and thereby be spared
the hassle of writing my own. :-)
They are *standards documents*. Of course they have to be immutable. But no one says -- so far as *I*
can see, that you can't lift parts out for other uses, nor that you couldn't issue some derivative
document *with a different name or identifier* that said something slightly different.
"More Catholic than the Pope" says it pretty well, IMPO.
But hell, what do I know.
[Repetitive smart-alec catch phrase goes here.]
