Good point, but trivially solved: http://tinyurl.com/5sm9w > Besides this, it's nearly 8 years old and therefore not in any respect > up-to-date Just because it's old doesn't mean it's out of date. Have you read the webpage in question? The majority of the page simply explains what mobile-IP *is* on a primer level, and how it might be used. That hasn't changed. > (and if it's only in a web archive, it will never be updated). That's a half-empty worldview. You should be saying "Yay! Since it's on the wayback machine, the URL will always be good!" If this is really a problem, we could create a WikiPedia entry for it. However, the page is on the level of a long dictionary definition or an encyclopedia entry, and so it's not much more out of date than most RFCs, for example. Ray
