RFCs sometimes have pseudocode. It would be nice to have a "pseudocode translator" that translates it to some actual programming language. With few exceptions, I have gven up on documentation. Whether it is specifications or software. Now I just read source code instead. I think in the 60s and 70s documentation used to be better and did focus more on input/output. For example, I still use spitbol and icon. Maybe it is controversial view, but I fail to comprehend how any RFC can be considered a "specification". In truth an RFC is only a "proposed specification" at best, literally a "request for comments". (Where are the comments?) In fact, often RFCs simply document some internet practice that already exists. (Meanwhile the number of "BCPs" is relatively small.) RFCs can be anything. |
