The benefit of the new number requires that folk know about it, which means we need to make sure it is as visible as possible. So, I agree it has to be on individual documents. The burden of providing pro forma details in an RFC has increasingly fallen to authors in recent years, with the RFC Editor having to do less editing (and, on could argue, should continue in that direction.) Happily, xml2rfc makes this a highly tolerable burden. So Paul is correct that author tools need to be updated, but since registration with the US LoC is of long-term benefit, and the change is small, it's difficult to view that rather burden as onerous. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ IETF mailing list IETF@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
