Re: [Ltru] Re: Review of 4646bis-10, sections 3.5 to App. B

It has been well known in the IETF that the IANA favors clear
instructions that don't require any judgement. But as Frank
explains below, clear instructions can be given without
MUSTard, and that's the way it has been done for IANA
until now. IANA will follow these instructions carefully
even without MUSTs. Of course they will occasionally make
a mistake, because they are humans. Who doesn't. But the
addition of MUSTs doesn't change that at all.

Regards,   Martin.
