It says this in Section 4.2.4: A specification that has been superseded by a more recent specification or is for any other reason considered to be obsolete is assigned to the "Historic" level. (Purists have suggested that the word should be "Historical"; however, at this point the use of "Historic" is historical.) Seems to me that the proviso "is for any other reason considered to be obsolete" could reasonably be construed to cover the initial publication of an obsolete specification. It's certainly true that the most common way to get to Historic is to start on the standards track and then get retired, but I see nothing in RFC 2026 that says (or even implies) that this is the only way. //cmh _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
