Harlan,

I asked the question some time ago whether you or another author 
stipulated that the SNTP client does or does not comply with the 
proposed ID update of rfc2030, which has apparently become rfc4330. I 
say apparently, because I saw and downloaded it a few jiffies ago, but 
it is not in the RFC list now. In any case, I did not get an answer.
