Ah, thank you. Stupid of me not to search for the expansion of the
abbreviation :)
However, it's good to see confirmed that STD0010 is "Obsoleted by RFC2821" and
that STD0011 is "Obsoleted by RFC2822" (and we already know that those have in
turn been subsequently obsoleted), so anyone still using RFC822 as the
standard is just not recognising the reality of how RFCs and Internet
Standards work
