    Tom,
    This is quite a comprehensive list.
    Please consider the changes suggested below.

    Lloyd

    1. Add draft-ietf-fax-tiff-fx-09.txt, which obsoletes RFC 2301 on route to
    issuing TIFF-FX as Draft Standard
      http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-fax-tiff-fx-09.txt
    2. Add draft-ietf-fax-tiff-fx-extension1-00.txt, which introduces the first
    set of extensions to TIFF-FX for higher spatial resolutions, JBIG2 encoding
    and others
     
    http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-fax-tiff-fx-extension1-00.txt
    3. Add draft-ietf-fax-tiff-regbis-02.txt, which obsoletes RFC 2302 on route
    to issuing Registration as Best Common Practice
      http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-fax-tiff-regbis-02.txt
    4. Add draft-ietf-fax-minaddr-v2-02.txt, which obsoletes RFC 2303 on route
    to issuing TIFF-FX as Draft Standard
      http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-fax-minaddr-v2-02.txt
    5. draft-ietf-fax-faxaddr-v2-02.txt, which obsoletes RFC 2304 on route to
    issuing TIFF-FX as Draft Standard
      http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-fax-faxaddr-v2-02.txt
    6. Delete RFC 2306, this is Information and only a subset of RFC 2301 with
    no further value.
    7. Delete RFC 2880 - Internet Fax T.30 Feature Mapping, this provides
    information with regard to translating T.30 fax DIS/DCS frame bits to schema
    representation

    > This document describes the TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
    > representation of image data specified by the ITU-T Recommendations
    > for black-and-white and color facsimile. This file format
    > specification is commonly known as TIFF-FX. It formally defines

    > black-and-white fax, and base JPEG, lossless JBIG and Mixed Raster
    > Content modes (Profiles C, L, M) for color and grayscale fax. These
    > modes or profiles correspond to the content of the applicable ITU-T
    > Recommendations. Files formatted according to this
    > specification use
    > the image/tiff MIME Content Type.
    > RFC 2302 - Tag Image File Format (TIFF) - image/tiff MIME Sub-type
    > Registration, March 1998
    > This document describes the registration of the MIME sub-type
    > image/tiff. The baseline encoding is defined by [TIFF]. This
    > document refines an earlier sub-type registration in RFC 1528
    > [TPC.INT].
    > RFC 2303 - Minimal PSTN address format in Internet Mail, March 1998
    > This memo describes the MINIMAL addressing method to encode PSTN
    > addresses into e-mail addresses and the standard extension
    > mechanism
    > to allow definition of further standard elements. The opposite
    > problem, i.e. to allow a traditional numeric-only PSTN
    > device user to
    > access the e-mail transport service, is not discussed here.
    > RFC 2304 - Minimal FAX address format in Internet Mail, March 1998
    > This memo describes the MINIMAL addressing method and standard

    > RFC 2305 - A Simple Mode of Facsimile Using Internet Mail, March 1998
    > This specification provides for "simple mode" carriage of facsimile
    > data over the Internet. Extensions to this document will follow.
    > The current specification employs standard protocols and
    > file formats
    > such as TCP/IP, Internet mail protocols [1, 2, 3], MIME
    > [4, 16, 17],
    > and TIFF for Facsimile [5,6,19]. It can send images not only to

    > systems, such as PCs with common email readers which can
    > handle MIME
    > mail and TIFF for Facsimile data. The specification facilitates

    > Facsimile, March
    > 1998
    > This document describes in detail the definition of TIFF-F that is

    > RFC 2426 - vCard MIME Directory Profile - September 1998
    > This memo defines the profile of the MIME Content-Type
    > [MIME-DIR] for
    > directory information for a white-pages person object, based on a
    > vCard electronic business card. The profile definition is
    > independent

    > about an individual (e.g., formatted and structured name
    > and delivery

    > RFC 2530 - Indicating Supported Media Features Using
    > Extensions to DSN and
    > MDN, March 1999
    > There is a need in Internet mail and Internet fax for a
    > recipient to

    > RFC 2532 - Extended Facsimile Using Internet Mail, March 1999
    > This document describes extensions to "Simple Mode of

    > RFC 2533 - A Syntax for Describing Media Feature Sets, March 1999
    > Updated by RFC 2738 and by RFC 2938
    > A number of Internet application protocols have a need to provide
    > content negotiation for the resources with which they interact [1].

    > message. A format for a vocabulary of individual media
    > features and
    > procedures for feature registration are presented in [3].
    >
    > This document introduces and describes a syntax that can be used to
    > define feature sets which are formed from combinations and
    > relations
    > involving individual media features. Such feature sets are used to
    > describe the media feature handling capabilities of
    > message senders,

    >
    > An algorithm for feature set matching is also described here.
    > RFC 2534 - Media Features for Display, Print, and Fax, March 1999
    > This specification defines some common media features for
    > describing

    > These features are registered for use within the framework
    > of [REG].
    > RFC 2542 - Terminology and Goals for Internet Fax, March 1999
    > This document defines a number of terms useful for the
    > discussion of

    > Internet Fax
    > working group and establishes a baseline of desired functionality

    > 1999
    > A number of Internet application protocols have a need to provide
    > content negotiation for the resources with which they
    > interact. MIME
    > media types [1,2] provide a standard method for handling one major
    > axis of variation, but resources also vary in ways which cannot be
    > expressed using currently available MIME headers.
    >
    > This memo sets out terminology, an abstract framework and goals for
    > protocol-independent content negotiation, and identifies some
    > technical issues which may need to be addressed.
    >
    > The abstract framework does not attempt to specify the content
    > negotiation process, but gives an indication of the
    > anticipated scope
