@ -68,22 +68,25 @@ In a few cases in this book, we refer to unapproved drafts (usually
known as Internet-Drafts or I-Ds). Officially, it is inappropriate to
use I-Ds as reference material. While sometimes very useful and
up-to-date, such drafts do not have the same status as RFCs and should
not be relied on as stable documents. They have not been thoroughly
reviewed, they may be wrong, and there is a high probability that they
will never be published as an RFC. A draft whose file name starts
"draft-ietf-" has been adopted by an IETF working group, so it has
passed a preliminary review, but it is still a draft, it may still be
wrong, and may never become an RFC.

they have almostly certainly not been adopted by an IETF working group

about I-Ds is the [IETF data tracker](https://datatracker.ietf.org/).
