RE: Links to latest bis working docs

Lisa,

my complaint was that it lists only one of many reasons for rejecting yet,
but also states that there are interoperable implementations. They may
exist, but at least one of them (IIS) does not conform to RFC2616 (HTTP), so
I don't think it qualifies as relevant implementation.
