Re: RFC 1959 to Historic? (revised)

I do not think this is necessary at this time. 

Correct.

From the RFC-Index:

2255 The LDAP URL Format. T. Howes, M. Smith. December 1997. (Format:
     TXT=20685 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC1959) (Status: PROPOSED STANDARD)

One should though have had a header line in 2255 which says "obsoletes: 1959". Today, it says "replaces 1959" in the abstract.
