	RFC 1726
		Partridge and Kastenholz [Page 7] RFC 1726 IPng Technical Criteria December 1994 Time Frame Any IPng proposal should be able to show immediately that it has an architecture for the needed routing protocols, addressing schemes, abstraction techniques, algorithms, data structures, and so on that can support growth to the required scales.
		Partridge and Kastenholz [Page 17] RFC 1726 IPng Technical Criteria December 1994 In order to meet the Robustness criterion, some elements of what is commonly shrugged off as "security" are needed; e.g., to prevent a villain from injecting bogus routing packets, and destroying the routing system within the network.
		Therefore, if we take [5]'s derivation of 1012 as accurate, and change their assumption that a home will be an end-node to a home being a network, we may expect that there will be the need to support at least 1012 networks, with the possibility of supporting up to 10**15 end- nodes.

	The Architectural Setting of Anglican Worship
		Other Bristol churches which had wrought-iron screens were St. Nicholas's, the Temple, and St. Thomas's; the finest was in the Temple; it dated from 1726 and remained, though not in its original position, till the church was destroyed by enemy action in 1940.
		The pulpit and reading pew are his work, but they appear to be in their original positions, and the pews have not been rearranged so as to enable stalls for a surpliced choir to be placed in front of the altar.
		Wren churches may have architectural affinities with the baroque buildings of the Continent, but their planning is quite different.

	Rome : Baroque & Rococo
		For the rococo -- more a decorative than architectural movement -- look no farther than the Spanish Steps (1726), by architect Francesco de Sanctis (1693-1740), or the Trevi Fountain (1762), by Nicola Salvi (1697-1751).
		The stuccoes, sculptures, and paintings were all carefully designed to complement one another -- and the space itself -- to create a unified whole.
		The baroque flourished across Italy, but some of the best examples include Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza (1640s) by Borromini (1599-1667), with its interplay of concave and convex ovals, interlocking truncated triangles, and an elliptical ramplike dome that looks like soft-serve ice cream (as scooped by a mathematician).

	Francesco Borromini 1599-1667 - Structure and Metamorphosis

		Castle and palace architecture as well as large-scale monastery and church buildings united architecture, sculpture and painting within a so-called " Gesamtkunstwerk ".

	The Anglican Cathedral in Québec
		The cathedral was built between 1799 and 1804, the architects choosing for a model the prestigious London church of St. Martin-in-the-fields, which was built between 1721 and 1726 to a design by James Gibbs (1682-1754).
		"The Anglican Cathedral stands out in Québec because of the novelty of its architecture; its unadorned rectangular layout creates a precedent, and it is equally successful in demonstrating an excellent way of using all the available space.
		The ornamentation on the façade of the Anglican cathedral originally conformed faithfully to the canons of classical architecture with respect to proportion.
