Danny,

This is the first I have seen the document, but my name is on it, so I 
should respond.

The document  from which this is derived is twenty years old, although 
it has been updated for recent developments. However, the system per and 
clock status words do not align with those defined in the current ntpq 
and status/event codes defined in the current reference implementation 
documenttation. I suggest the description of the status words in the ID 
be changed to agree with the documentaiton or the documentatino and 
implementation be changed to agree with the ID.

The intent in the event codes is to align them with the protostats 
statistics file messages. These are define din the  header files. While 
these change from time to time, some kind of reference should be made to 
the current list. I don't think this should be the IANA, so maybe the 
reference should be to the current documentation.

Dave
