In any case though the minimal changes to get an old version up to speed
should be fairly minor, just replacing all the museum-grade algorithms with
current ones, implementing POST rather than GET, and checking that various
things that were ambiguous or even wrong in the original draft but that people
usually implemented correctly anyway really are done correctly.  That's not
the full RFC, but enough to meet the minimum mandatory-to-implement 
requirements.
