Alas, that is still true for the lower-level protocols. The Blue Book actually
made things worse in X.25; the document is awash in typographical errors. It
gave me quite a start to realize that the document was *not* machine genera-
ted; many of the "typographical" errors were cut-and-paste layout mistakes. So
I would strongly recommend ISO7776 and ISO8208 for X.25 fans. Also, curiously,
ISO6256, which is supposed to be obsolete but actually has some very important
(for implementors) details of the frame level that are documented nowhere else
in the known universe.
