Re: Question about the edition of RFC 3280

[Peter Sylvester <[e-mail]>]

Denis,

It happened when the editor put it into the text. He typed
this using his favorite editing program. :-)

(A little bit more) seriously, I don't think that you want to know this. 

You (and also others) might want to know (one or more of)

- why the change was made.

- Whether this reflects a discussion in the working group for which
  consensus had been achieved.

- how the consensus was achieved.

It may be helpful to indicate what problem do you have with the change.
  
regards
Peter
