Only 6 Domain names ?!?

Define what "Registered Internet Domain name" means with respect to 1985 and that might mean something. (And it might be a true thing or a false thing, but at least we could sensibly discuss which.) Since the DNS as we know it today did not exist in 1985 (RFCs 1034 and 1035 are dated 1987), it's not clear what this is trying to say, which makes it impossible to tell whether it's true. There was an earlier form of DNS which existed in 1985; RFCs 882 and 883, which 1034 and 1035 replace, are dated 1983. To what extent this means that "Internet Domain names" existed in 1985 is...questionable, at the very least - never mind what "registered" would mean. I do note that 883 has a big warning at the beginning saying that it is not not NOT a spec for implementation. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse(a)rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
