A great deal of time and trouble went into making "MIL-STD-1778"
("Military Standard Transmission Control Protocol") APPEAR to be more
formal than the RFC TCP spec.  It would be interesting to learn if
a relatively neutral observer thought it actually IS more formal--
and, as a purist's point, whether that makes it more useful, since
I doubt there's an a priori correlation between formality and utility.

Given that page ii says that "benefical comments" can go to
Defense Communications Agency
ATTN: J110
1860 Wiehle Avenue
Reston, VA 22090
and that I don't see any "ordering information" elsewhere (not that
it's necessarily not there, just that I don't see it), presumably
a request for a copy could go to that address as well with some chance
of being fulfilled.

cheers, map
