[comp.protocols.iso.x400.gateway] Fw: RFC 987 V 2.0

S.Kille@CS.UCL.AC.UK (Steve Kille) (07/14/89)

I've now finished the editing of this, following the meeting.
As you will see from the changebars, it has been touched in a lot of
places.  However, most of the changes are not so large.  Will be coming in 5
pieces in just a bit.

Stef is writing up some notes on the meeting, and so I won't try to list all
of the changes agreed.  

Essentially, we reached concensus on most issues, and I hope that this will
mostly non-contraversial.

The biggest changes were to IPNs and DRs.  I think that the solution is a
little less elegant, but will provide a better service to the user.  There
is a whole load of new BNF.  I'd appreciate detailed comment and suggestions
on this.

There were three issues where I felt we did not reach concensus.  I'll be
sending two messages on two of those in just a minute, which I hope will be
the basis for discussion.  The third was the title, where we reached
agreement at least.

I would like to move this document fairly rapidly towards finishing 
and publishing in its various guises (Jon Postel/Phil Gross - can we discuss
the RFC situation?).
