Well, rfcdiff of draft-lafon-00 to p1-messaging gives this: <http://www.mnot.net/test/p1-messaging-from-draft-lafon- rfc2616bis-00.diff.html> ...which is pretty good at showing one change. It would be nice to show them all side-by-side, but I don't see any easy way to do that. On 18/10/2007, at 4:09 AM, Roy T.
