If one draft > says "SHOULD do x", and another draft says "SHOULD NOT do x", > then something has to give. There seem to be three options going forward: 1) make no changes to the spec. The spec (assumably) documents the existing behaviour, even if it is conflicting. 2) make the spec to disallow that. The implementations are not changed. The spec no longer documents the existing behaviour, and the conflicts continue, but those who implement the spec aren't allowed to say it's compliant (but no one is enforcing this in any case, so....). 3) make the spec to disallow that. Someone convinces the implementors to change their running code, and all the code is actually changed. Basically the IESG decided that accurate documentation of the running code is more important than documenting something that does not exist, and maybe never will exist. That's certainly an understandable tradeoff to make, and it gets back to the more philosophical role of the IETF: should it be OK to document even disrupting running code, or should the IETF "just say no" (and then we'd likely have no documentation of the running code whatsoever). Note: I have no knowledge whether the implementors would or would not be willing to change the code. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems.
