Re: Enhancing protocol.sgml

Hi Bradley,

Thank your for your follow up. Your patch looks good to me.

Can you please re-send your message in pgsql-hackers attaching to this thread?
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20180730(dot)080748(dot)1152436144966943439(dot)t-ishii(at)sraoss(dot)co(dot)jp

I have registered the thread in CommitFest:
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/19/1738/

Unfortunately CommitFest app does not allow to handle emails other
than posted to pgsql-hackers. So I decided to post to pgsql-hackers
after posting to pgsql-docs.

Best regards,
