[Ccpdp-rm] On RFC1591 and "binding"

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Patricio,

where is this coming from?  And, now?

The FoI clearly stated that it is appropriate to have a review.  And
this means binding.  Whether the IDNB has ever existed, how it was
composed, if at all, and whether it actually decided a case or two is
hardly relevant.

Never mind that there are very old statutes on book in many places. And
remain in force unless specifically revoked. Whether the concept of
"letra muerta" exists in some jurisdictions or not, I don't agree that
statutes expire by themselves.
