Martin,

If we positively know that the name was mangled, then we should use the
correct name in references. And we should also make sure that an errata has
been filed, and all metadata regarding the RFC has the correct name.

Just out of curiosity, did this RFC precede the AUTH48 process?

Cheers,
Andy
