Was, before being touched(1) by your old smelly editor :-)
FSC-0032 is just a proposal, but it is based on a much older rules, requiring adding quote sign _before_ existing quote signs, but _after_ initials (which obviously are optional). Given that, I've marked(2) the quote sign added by my editor.

/me too.

Good.

We (here in R50) could use it, but the others would unlikely be able to read it... Also, there once was a Z6 :-)

The BEER nodelist flag (FSP-1041) also was introduced for that purpose,

Next would be 2020-03-28 in a beer pub at 55.7424 N 37.6523 E :-)

Generally, you had to check them first...
Also, the CRC appears to be too weak for these days... The SHA-2 should be considered an absolute minimum, and Skein or Streebog are recommended.

That's what we expect from FTSC members, not from nodelist clerks.
