   Hey Wilfred!   
      
    WvV> To review if they still describe current practice,   
      
   Which is?   
      
    WvV> or could be worded better, not to change them to something   
    WvV> incompatible with current practice. ;)   
      
   Nope.  Speaking as a nodelisted sysop, as well as the only user of an official   
   point system, and especially as a standing member of the FTSC I refuse to   
   subscribe to mob rule which is where 'current practice' usually leads.  On   
   this particular subject of the MSGID/REPLY kludges my gut feeling is to leave   
   the wording as is since it leaves open a door for improvement if and when it   
   presents itself.  I think it is clear enough without any alterations, up to   
   and including my suggestion for a new and improved flexible hex character   
   representation of unixtime.   
      
   I look forward to the review of this particular document.  I have much to say   
   about it especially about the misuse of the MSGID to introduce proprietary   
   addressing.  That has to go no matter what harm it might bring to the software   
   in question.   
      
   Life is good,
