People,

What is the relationship between the 'class F' document...

http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/mxr/gfx/2d/TIFF-f.txt

...and the TIFF 6.0 specification? I believe this class F document was written after TIFF 5.0, and before TIFF 6.0. Is that right?

There's three tags that are defined in this class F document

BadFaxLines
CleanFaxData
ConsecutiveBadFaxLines

These tags are not mentioned in the TIFF 6.0 specification. Which means what? Are these tags to be regarded legacy, to be completely abandoned? Does anything use or maybe even strongly depend on them?
