Well, what can we do? Change all of the JSON on archive.org?

This one is like learning to ski or snowboard. They say "think of the fall
line". If you rolled a boulder down the hill, where would it go? I think
we're pretty far down the hill.

These ideas are not new, either. We can find the very same ideas in 20-yr
old blog posts from one of the Unichars authors, Just look for "halt and
catch fire" and "Tim Bray". I agree that we can actively maintain protocols
as RFC 9413 suggests, but I'm not so sure about data formats.

thanks,
Rob
