Something just dawned on me... Do you mean “People who don't have a RFC 5444
parser at hand so they will have to build their own” or “people who neither
want nor have their own RFC5444 parser, because they want to build packets in
their own format”?
For the former, I'd disagree.
The algorithms are a nice checklist, but they won't help in figuring out the
nitty gritty details of putting together correct 5444 packets, because that's
RFC 5444's task, and that's fine. But I think the Algorithms shouldn't be
advertised as help to build a RFC 5444 parser.
