I have one preliminary question for Kurt: since rfc4524 obsoletes rfc1274,
should those schema items that were not brought forward be marked as
OBSOLETE?  If yes, then all schema could fit in one file.  I'd like a
clear way to separate valid from obsolete schema.  The obsolete items
should be available for backwards compatibility.  As an alternative, I'd
like to have a "slim" (without obsolete) and a complete version of the
file.  Could you please upload the file?  Through the ITS attachments
don't work too well.

Am I right in assuming this IPR is fine?  Thanks, p.
