The STD index and STD 10

[John C Klensin <klensin@jck.com>]

Hi.

I believe that this is just a trivial mistake that simply needs 
fixing, rather than a large procedural issue, but am copying the 
IESG in case someone disagrees.

I believe the definition of STD 10 (SMTP, etc.) is incorrect. 
It now lists RFC 821 (SMTP) and RFC 1869 (SMTP extensions).  If 
my memory is correct, it used to list RFC 974 (mail routing 
using MX records) as well.  821 is incomplete without 974 and 
support for 974 is mandatory (If I recall, RFC 1123 says so). 
So 974 should be included in STD 10.  So, ideally, should the 
relevant sections of 1123, although that would set some new 
precedents.

This all gets straightened out with 2821ter, but that doesn't 
seem to be happening very quickly :-(

Could the definition of STD 10 be updated/corrected in the 
interim?

thanks,
    john
