Specifically, RFC2008 says:

While it has never been explicitly stated that various Internet

      always been assumed (and practiced).

That sentence, in particular the last five words of that sentence, are 
extremely important.  10+ years of a given practice and set of operating
rules cannot be overturned by fiat.


One might notice that these words were written in an RFC.  Not in a law
book.

They have all of the legal weight of a Jim Flem-o-gram.
