Hmmmm.  Isn't RFC 1009 an obscure place for this information, which is
relevant to many of us who never need to see the inside of a gateway?
This deserves mention in "Assigned Numbers," and perhaps in "Address
Mappings" as well, and certainly in the forthcoming "Requirements for
Internet Hosts" RFC.
