Dave,
	The people that wrote this need to be informed about
how to use the RFC's and the IETF datatracker.  First and
formost they start off CITING rfc1349 which has been OBSOLETED
by RFC2474, in 1998 no less, so anything and everthing refering
to rfc1349 is refering to the wrong document.  Saying there is
a "conflict" between two documents when one was obsoleted by
the other is just non-sense.

The fact that LINUX still has RFC1349 TOS stuff in it is
what is "conflicted", not the RFC's.   Linux continues
to use and support a now 23 year obsoleted model of the
byte being discussed.  This lack of following the updates
in the standards is infact causing the current ECN usage
some issues.

I'll note that at least FreeBSD, and I believe the other BSD's
have some vestigaes of this stuff around, but it is not
in use as far as I can tell.  Ie, there are defines, but
nothing is using them.  And IIRC the one bit that is defanitly
different no longer even has a define.

Regards,
Rod Grimes
