Comments on RFC580 -

Machine Readable Protocols

I fully support the requirement for machine-readable protocol

documents. In my situation, the line-printer is a mUCh more reliable

device than the copying machine.

However, I object to the phrase "preferably as nls files" in RFC580.

My objection is based on the lack of conversion mechanisms INTO NLS,

not to the retrieval process or NLS itself.

Most sites have their own text editors and RUNOFF's (or their

equivalents). Most large protocol documents are prepared at least

partially by secretarial help. Those persons should be able to

prepare the documents in the home machine (or wherever) in languages

with which they are familiar. There should be a general program

(preferably clever, but at least generally available and predictable)

for converting nicely formatted text to NLS files.

Perhaps the program which receives mail for the journal will do the

trick; if so it needs further documentation beyond the mail-oriented

RFC543, and its existence and usage need to be publicised.
