FWIW, not all three- or four-letter acronyms referred to in these 
discussions is correctly resolved by searching the RFCs. Sure, pointing 
to "HEMS, ala the RFCs" is sufficient, but searching the RFCs first for 
anything is like relying on the first hit on Google.

Mike P. brings up a good point. By not providing this sort of mildly 
redundent context, we're shooting ourselves in the foot, history-wise.
