PRG; From the Peanut Gallery:

Interesting stuff here.

One of the things I keep coming across whenever I look 
at "specs" is age.  I do visit w3c now and then, and 
even find now and then that I can understand some of 
their content!  But ... whenever I find what's 
purported to be a "spec" it's, well, not old, 
but -ancient-!

Am I just ignorant and not able to understand something 
here?  Almost every time I try to look for an RFC, FYI, 
whatever, I end up with something more relevant to the 
Commodore 64 or worse, than it is to the existing 
circumstance of the web.

Looking back at what I just wrote, I see it's pretty 
ambiguous, but ... An RFC is a -call-, not a spec, an 
FYI is just that, FYI and not a spec, so ... what ARE 
the specs?
   I must sound pretty ignorant, don't I?  That aside, 
where, for instance, would I find, say, end-user 
information for e-mailing, for instance, other than at 
MS, Netscape, a few million baseless web sites, 
rfc1855, or whatever?

Or am I just SO far out that's not even a question?

I chose this point to ask in this thread because of my 
appreciation of your posting styles/informative bent, 
and respect.  Starting a new thread, it would have been 
even harder to explain what I mean, so I jumped in 
here.
