By accident, I ended up at the original Netscape
cookie specification. It’s now over eight years since I read that
one for the first time. Notice the 1996-style formatting of the headers:
<h2> <font size="+3">P</font>ERSISTENT <font size="+3">C</font>LIENT <font size="+3">S</font>TATE<br> <font size="+3">HTTP C</font>OOKIES </h2>
Other classic web tech specs: The Common
Gateway Interface, Hypertext Markup Language – 2.0,
Hypertext
Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.0. I’ve referenced those a lot of times,
back in the day.
