Field notes
The page uses linked RFC sections and familiar standards language, including BCP 14, as the frame for its joke. Its requirements, FAQ, and author address keep the deadpan format going: the author is listed as “Nowhere in particular,” with an email address of “yes.” The extracted page establishes the document’s contents, but not whether any mail-server behavior described in it is implemented.
