We had already found one incorrect reference, and we checked with the author, and he agrees it is incorrect and that we should fix it. (UNI 1.0 instead of 1.1) The document references ITU documents G.7713 and G.8080 Thos as clear references (I think) to documents as they are known in ITU. So I see

Hi Folks, I can reaffirm Zhi's comment that call and connection separation goes back to G.8080, an already approved ITU specification of the G.ASON architecture. I'm a bit puzzled by the argument that no one but IETF should be allowed to extend an IETF protocol - I would think that extensions ar
