Many IETF registrations do not, of themselves, contain any information that must be followed to ensure proper (inter)operation with a specification (which is roughly my view of what it is tio be normative). The normative information may all be contained in another document which is simply referenced by the specification. The registration document is, as far as I can tell, just a mechanism for getting the relevant information entered into a registry. The content of a registry itself may have some normative force, if so specified by some document that cites the registry. Is this a deep disagreement, or just a different perspective on some terminology? #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org>
