I see: I'm wrong, but you didn't see the original note.  How thorough of
you.  Sounds more like: "Crocker is right, no matter what".

Maybe if you are going to make official statements, you could do a more
thorough job of consulting both the statements being made, and your RFCs.  
I just cited RFC3979, a more recent product of your working group. But
nothing I said was in contradiction to RFC3669, either. Not that you 
bothered to read it before commenting.
