Thanks for the correction.  I also had in mind contributions to mailing lists
where the Note Well - eg the one sent out to this list on 1 January 2009 -
references RFC5378 (or not as is the case in other settings) rather than  BCP78.
I am unclear whether this is by design or whether it is something that has yet
to be brought in line with current thinking.

Isn't it complicated?
