Hi Frank,

Ah, Ok.  Nevertheless, I added the ability to handle
/id/ietf-ftpext-mlst .  With that in place, /id/ now
handles the cases

/id/draft-xxx	tries draft-xxx*.txt
/id/xxx		tries draft-*xxx*.txt

Yes.  The intention was to have /id/ look up I-Ds, only, and
the I-D. and RFC. notations are fairly unusual (I haven't seen
them used in a link, anywhere), and for manual usage the two
cases which are now handled should suffice.

The /html/ tree is closer to the do-what-I-mean philosophy, and
handles the following:

/html/draft-xxx		(if unique)
/html/RFCnnnn		
/html/nnnn		
/html/BCPnn		
/html/FYInn
/html/STDnn

For some reason, this does not work, even if it should:

/html/ietf-xxx		(if unique)

I'll have a closer look at that.


Regards,

	Henrik
