Really?

I'd read it, but apparently not exhaustively enough.

[ reads ]

I see that 3.6.8 has been loosened not to require the prefix.  I'd be
interested in the history of that, because I can still see why it might
be a bad idea. 

Ok, it was a *long* time between 822 and 2822; you'd think any new
official header they might want to introduce would be there already,
and not therefore a candidate for a collision...

but not all the smart people worked on 2822, either.

Time for some research, obviously.
