... plus RFC 1122 and 1123 -- the Host Requirements RFCs (Communications Layer
and Applications & Support, respectively).  These contain explicit directions
on many of the points that the Protocol Handbook RFCs either leave open to
interpretation, misstate, etc.  Getting this before claiming interconnectivity
will save yourself a tremendous amount of aggrivation later on.
