I vaguely remember having some communication in the beginning of the history of the Treaty, but as my life at that time took some turns away from IF, the lack of my focus on this probably lead to the current situation. And I have not been aware of it until recently.At present the design system ALAN, a living format (i.e., whose compiler is still in use), is not a signatory to the Treaty: our attempts to make contact have been unsuccessful. We wish to make it easy for ALAN to join the Treaty later, if it so chooses.
That leaves the Babel doc itself. This is currently not in a git
repository, but I will add it to
https://github.com/iftechfoundation/ifarchive-if-specs -- that's the
obvious place.
(Which means updating the doc from plain text to Markdown... sure, why
not.)
By the way, I see quite a few places where the 2006 text is out of date.
We should do a cleanup round while we've got the covers off.
The Ngah Angah School of Forbidden Wisdom
If the current algorithm can't deal with these, perhaps we should just check the MD5 or similar against a list?

Most likely, these were created with earlier versions of ALAN 3, which didn't yet
support IFIDs.

That seems the reasonable solution, but I'd like to ear what Thomas has to say.
