RFC 4395 had it somewhere inbetween, with the equivalent of 6.2 saying the above is a SHOULD and I note that the "optional" is lowercase, which I would have taken to mean expert reviewers would insist on mailing list reviews for "important" and "possibly controversial" proposals, but in some cases they might feel it's not really necessary, so given that the SHOULD has already been turned into a MUST, I would think this is no longer optional. Section 8 would also have to be fixed if the Working Group agrees to require mailing list review. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
