Re: [Tools-discuss] new tool: rfc-what-i-mean

Hi Joe,

Nice one :-)

I've added a link here:
  http://www1.tools.ietf.org/inventory/author-tools

I'm also tempted to at some point adding equivalent functionality
to idnits, but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon...

Regards,

	Henrik
