I'm on a boat^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H in an RFC.

RFC 6068 is out, the new specification for the "mailto:" URL scheme. This (and the earlier RFC 2368) largely codify what I happened to implement in Netscape 2.0 in 1995. This revision clarifies the quoting rules a bit.

Anyway, the part here that really amuses me is that RFCs generally list the authors' employers... and so...

This is the first RFC that includes the words "DNA Lounge". Hah!

    I have to also assume that you are the first barkeeper listed in any RFC.
    peace

    ...we just need a spec that specifies the captcha to solve before the server will return the email address.

    But standardizing anything about captchas just makes them easier to break, oops.

    recaptcha "337 jarnistan" - I'm starting to wonder what source material they're weaving these from.

    I've been working on a utility called 2ping, which uses a UDP client and listener. This week (after about a month delay and some back-and-forth, not exactly unexpected), the IANA assigned 2ping a registered port in the master services list. So, I'm on a boat^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H in an IANA document.

    The protocol I wrote for 2ping is well defined and documented, though I doubt I'd get it to the RFC stage. Though if I did, I'd probably want to be listed as "Ryan Finnie, Human, 0.08% ABV".

    Nice work! I particularly like the examples. The RFC2324 reference was also great.

    And I see that my former coworker from Jabber, Peter Saint-Andre (aka "St. Peter, the Patron Saint of Jabber^H^H^H^H^H^HXMPP") got a nice shout-out in the acknowledgements, too. Awesome!

    Congratulations to DNA.

    Excellent. I guess now we'll have to call it a Request For Clubbing.
