The biggest issue with FTS-1 is that it doesn't describe the packet format most
widely used on FidoNet today (the so-called "2+" packet format which has still
never been formally standardized).

The secondary issues are that it describes things that were never really part
of the network (e.g. local message storage format) and now-obsolete
communication protocols.

It's fine as a historical document, but misleading and confusing as a technical
specification when applied to today's FidoNet.
