The problem is that I have no more confidence in the persistence of links search.ietf.org than I do on www.ietf.org What appears to be the latest protocol draft (04.txt) is dated May 2000, while http://mappa.mundi.net/Internet-Drafts/blocks-protocol.html is dated April 14, 2000. I've kept the original link which is too bad, as the one on mundi.net is HTML with links in and out. --- SITE MANAGEMENT FLAME --- What I would like is a "live" link that changes with the latest version, and a "fixed" link that points to specific editions of the draft that won't go away. I short, I beleive that a less capricious management of the web space would have a good return on investment. I share an office with the fellow who manages the oldest website in the world and he fares very well at URL persistence. > Although I don't think that BXXP should be in the matrix "XML protocols". > After > reading the spec, I think BXXP is a transport protocol, which > does allow an XML payload (that is the default) .
