You're prevaricating. Earlier:

Do they need to work on getting the RFC to be more explicit about the correct behavior or not?
It really isn't up to me. If enough developers find this to be an important issue then the first step would be to replace the RFC with a new one and then work with the existing web daemon developers to change their defaults. There should also be an effort to communicate these changes to all the internet companies world wide long in advance as this will be a breaking change for many people. Perhaps I am just jaded but I think this will break a lot of stuff and cause a lot of really bad maintenance windows and other fallout. Who among the developers is willing to take the lead on this? You appear to be very articulate and astute. Are you taking the lead?
