This document still continues to insist that rfc1126 "outlined a set 
of requirements that were to guide the development of BGP". As we
disccused before (see e-mail exchange aroung Aug 2004), this is 
incorrect. To correctly reflect the history please replace the 
current text with the following:

    While some people expected a set of requirements outlined in RFC1126
    to guide the development of BGP, in reality the development of BGP 
    happened completely independently of RFC1126. In other words, from 
    the point of view of the development of BGP, RFC1126 turned out to be
    totally irrelevant.
