I know this is off task, but I'm surprised that the 
ultimate IETF dictum, conservative in what you send,
has not been invoked.  

I notice that no one complains about being unable to read
RFC 12.  

In the past, Microsoft has had trouble reading old 
versions of Word documents.  I spent far longer than 
I would like to admit last spring revising a course so
that current versions of Power Point could read old
versions.  I shudder to think of the task of revising 
old RFCs everytime Redmond decides we need to upgrade.
