Yeah, but ... RFC 1700 lists THREE values for ATM, 16, 19, and 21
decimal.  The references for each are:

16: JXB2 ?????????
19: You (updated to RFC 1577 in the online version of 1700; see
    ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/arp-parameters)
21: Mike Burrows

There are no documents cited for 16 or 21.  Any idea in which
documents they are cited, if any, and whether they should be removed
from the next version of Assigned Numbers?
