With the long history of "Note Well" slides and notices,
and the claim of http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-montemurro-gsma-imei-urn
to be in full conformance with BCP 79,

was some time in the past.

This looks really bad to me, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what an
innocent explanation for this might be.
