Obviously not.  But I check... LOL, that's cheating

:-) - I added it when the page was initially created.
That's how I was sure it was there :-)

[note well] 
How does that differ from my second point ?  You
said "nope, on both counts".


It means that reuse of what you write isn't limited
to "might be adopted in an IETF standard if it's a
good idea" - you may also (to give another example
of reuse under 3978) see your words quoted in someone
else's posting that explains why what you wrote is
not such a good idea after all, for instance :-)


That's fair use, we're not yet at the point where I'd
need a patent lawyer for a flamewar, asbestos suffice ;-)


don't forget that fair use is a construct of US law :-(
details matter!

(not that reasonable persons would not say "that's OK" - but law exists to make sure things function even when persons are not reasonable....)
