In your document (http://eljaco.se/FILES/FTSC/FTS-0001.017%20--%20RFC.txt), you
have defined "The message format" (section 2a) which corresponds with the
"Stored Message" defined in FTS-1.

The individual messages within a packet ("a pkt-file") are what are called
"Packed Messages" (in both your document and FTS-1) and is a different thing.

Packed Messages are sent between FTN nodes, Stored Messages are not.

I agree. I've been doing that for about over 25 years now. You?
