I hope so.  Do you know if anyone is currently working on a revision
of 1042?

The 802.5 token ring is a bit of a problem, because of the disastrous
state of the multicast filtering hardware on token ring interfaces.
That means we'll have to define a different IP multicast mapping for
802.5, rather than just adopting the Ethernet scheme.  Sigh.
