--- Comment #3 from Alejandro Colomar (man-pages) ([email protected]) --- But does the manual page really conform to the newer RFCs? The contents are quite large, and I don't know if some details of it are actually obsolete and should be fixed.

Actually, it conforms more to rfc8820. So, IMHO, reference to rfc6874 can be removed. If this sounds okay, I will commit a new patch.
