 WV> Don't forget you are documenting current practise.

how do you know that it is not current practise? remember, there's been 15
leapseconds in fidonet's lifetime...

 WV> Not how things _should_ be!

on the contrary, for some part of the definition, this particular document is
for how things really work and not how some people think they work and write
their software to do...

this "documenting current practise" is going to kill/wreck fidonet technology
and it has been eating away at it for years... this is not what the FTSC is
supposed to be all about... you don't change existing documents and cause
existing software to fail in their declarations of what standards and proposals
they support... you issue new documents and let the software choose to support
them or not... there are agendas in play and they are extremely obvious... as
obvious as the lack of panties under a micro-skirt worn by some of today's
PYTs...
