"Forbidden" in Section 2 #109

Closed ekinnear closed 6 months ago

ekinnear commented 6 months ago

From @gloinul's review:

Algorithms that are designed for special environments (e.g., data centers) and forbidden from use in the Internet would, of course, instead seek real-world data for those environments.

I reacted to the use of “forbidden” in this sentence. Would not “not intended at all for use in the Internet” be a better formulation? Because forbidden want me to invoke the Protocol Police if someone ever attempted to use it.

For me, this was meant to be stronger than "not intended", more like "confined to a limited to a controlled environment".

RFC 8799 describes some of these cases, and could be a useful reference?

So I think a stronger wording is fine. But, an alternative formulation would be good that doesn't imply that you might get the protocol police after you.
