Martin Duerst has submitted a draft of The Archived-At Message Header Field. Briefly this proposes adding a semi-permanent URL for each e-mail message posted to a mailing list to the e-mail header.

The Apache Software Foundation has published The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Version 1.1, an informational RFC that describes "'current practice' parameters of the 'CGI/1.1' interface developed and documented at the U.S. National Centre for Supercomputing Applications. This document also defines the use of the CGI/1.1 interface on UNIX(R) and other, similar systems."
