Question about past advice to RIRs

[Fred Baker <fred@cisco.com>]

As discussed in the recent IETF meeting, Marla Azinger and I are  
putting together a document on IPv6 multihoming. My current list of  
references for the document includes the attached. Some of the  
reviewers have stated that at least some of the documents should be  
considered out of date.

If so, I think the IESG should advise the RFC Editor to mark them  
"historical".

In any event, would people please look through this and tell me which  
documents to drop?

Note that RFCs 1265, 1787, 2008, 2827, and 3704 are included for the  
perspectives they present whether currently applicable or not. The  
biggest problems seem to arise from RFCs 1881 and 1887; if they are  
obsolete, I have an entire section that might disappear.
