Hi Jinmei,

I'm not going to talk about the document itself.

based on my local archive:

grep  -i neighbour rfc*txt | wc -l
     297
grep  -i neighbor rfc*txt | wc -l
    7695


it seems the RFC editors aren't checking this:

grep  -c neighbour rfc*txt | sort -tc -n +1 | grep -v '^rfc[0-9]*.txt:0' 
|tail -10
rfc2722.txt:1
rfc2811.txt:1
rfc2813.txt:1
rfc2815.txt:1
rfc3208.txt:4
rfc3519.txt:1
rfc3549.txt:1
rfc3719.txt:3
rfc3765.txt:9
rfc3787.txt:1


Is it really important to have the text generated by one
English speaking author (in this case an Australian)
homologated to another dialect?
