    Hi folks,

    New at the IETF RFC repository:

    2978 IANA Charset Registration Procedures. N. Freed, J. Postel.
         October 2000. (Format: TXT=21615 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC2278) (Also
         BCP0019) (Status: BEST CURRENT PRACTICE)

    2979 Behavior of and Requirements for Internet Firewalls. N. Freed.
         October 2000. (Format: TXT=14350 bytes) (Status: INFORMATIONAL)

    I spent yesterday evening reading RFC 2979 - _highly_ recommended.
    A wonderful brief overview of the issues around content filtering
    in firewalls (and application layer bridges).

    RFC 2978 tightens up the existing rules for registering a new
    'charset' (character set and encoding) with IANA, for use in
    MIME, HTTP, IPP, and many other protocols that now have 'charset'
    tagging.
