Is this some kind of joke? I am seriously confused.
Every year, on April 1st ("April Fool's day"), the IETF approves a small number of joke RFCs.
3098, BTW, is not a joke.
Neither is 3092, for that matter. It may not be about a serious technical issue, but it's still the answer to a very common set of questions relating to Internet standards in general. Plus, it's a very impressive bit of research. -- J.D. Falk an ocean refuses no river <jdfalk@cybernothing.org>
