This document is a guide for Internet standard writers.  It defines
those characteristics that make standards coherent, unambiguous, and
easy to interpret.  In addition, it singles out usage believed to
have led to unclear specifications, resulting in non-interoperable
interpretations in the past.  These guidelines are to be used with
RFC 2223, "Instructions to RFC Authors".

This document is a product of the Guide for Internet Standards Writers
Working Group of the IETF.

This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the
