Message from Michael S. Johnson [06:34 99-02-21 ]: >Relating this by analogy to law: a recent news report exposed general >ignorance of a 20-year old law that requires motorists in Washington State >to carry a trash receptacle. Rhetorical question: Does that ignorance >mean that the law should not be followed? > >Of course, no one has given evidence that there is a "law"/RFC about "-- >", so the analogy is imperfect. Suggestion: why not propose it as a *new* >RFC? Yes, the analogy was not perfect because we do not have any law or even a recommendation concerning signatures. The idea of standardization of sigs is a good one. mjw
