Here is an example, a format for dates compatible with that specified
-in the \rfc{822} Internet email standard.
- \footnote{The use of \%Z is now
- deprecated, but the \%z escape that expands to the preferred
+in the \rfc{2822} Internet email standard.
+ \footnote{The use of \code{\%Z} is now
+ deprecated, but the \code{\%z} escape that expands to the preferred
hour/minute offset is not supported by all ANSI C libraries. Also,
a strict reading of the original 1982 \rfc{822} standard calls for
a two-digit year (\%y rather than \%Y), but practice moved to
- 4-digit years long before the year 2000.}
+ 4-digit years long before the year 2000. The 4-digit year has
+ been mandated by \rfc{2822}, which obsoletes \rfc{822}.}
