Does it also imply that RFC 5536 and RFC 5537 will mention that they
update that RFC when dislpayed on <http://tools.ietf.org/html/>?
(just above "Category: Standards Track")

Shouldn't the date "3 May 2009" be changed to "2 June 1994"?  (and the sentence
"This document is identical to the last distributed version of Son of 1036,
dated 2 June 1994, except for reformatting" rewritten to say it was submitted
on May, 3rd 2009)
That date would highlight more the fact it is an *old* RFC.

It is just a suggestion; maybe it is impossible to change that date.


Thanks for all your work, Charles.
