RFC1148 Editing BOF Minutes
Opening Remarks
Introduction:
Steve Hardcastle-Kille presented the most significant changes with
respect to the one-before-last version of the Internet Draft on mapping
between X.400 (1988)/ISO 10021 and RFC 822 (aka RFC-1148bis). These are
summarized in Appendix J.
Discussion:
There was a short discussion on the effects of X.400 addresses encoded
(on purpose or by accident) in DDA.RFC-822. The conclusion was that
gateways should be able to cope with this by unpacking the address from
the DDA, and then resubmitting the address to their tables. In a really
good gateway, the body of the message will in such a case not be
converted from X.400 to RFC 822 and back again. Steve explained the
proper use of the gateway table.
Recommendation:
The attendees unanimously agreed that the recommendation from this
meeting was to proceed the Internet Draft on Mapping between
X.400(1988)/ISO 10021 and RFC 822 to the RFC status.
This document has also been reviewed by RARE Working Group 1 in Europe,
and the Chair of Working Group 1 was present at this meeting. This
editing meeting was also given authority by the X.400 Operations Working
Group, which met earlier on the same day.
