Network Working Group P. Hoffman Internet-Draft VPN Consortium Obsoletes: 2629 (if approved) May 7, 2014 Intended status: Standards Track Expires: November 8, 2014 The 'XML2RFC' version 3 Vocabulary draft-hoffman-xml2rfc-07 Abstract This document defines the 'XML2RFC' version 3 vocabulary; an XML- based language used for writing RFCs and Internet-Drafts. It is heavily derived from the version 2 vocabulary that is also under discussion. This document obsoletes the v2 grammar described in RFC 2629 and its expected followup, draft-reschke-xml2rfc. Editorial Note (To be removed by RFC Editor) Discussion of this draft takes place on the rfc-interest mailing list (rfc-interest@rfc-editor.org), which has its home page at <https://www.rfc-editor.org/mailman/listinfo/rfc-interest>.

Introduction This document describes version 3 ('v3') of the 'XML2RFC' vocabulary; an XML-based language ('Extensible Markup Language', [XML]) used for writing RFCs ([RFCSTYLE]) and Internet-Drafts ([IDGUIDE]). This document obsoletes the version ("v2") vocabulary [XML2RFCv2], which contains the extended language definition. That document in turn obsoletes the original version ("v1") [RFC2629]. This document directly copies the material from [XML2RFCv2] where possible; as that document makes its way toward RFC publication, this document will incorporate as many of the changes as possible. [[anchor2: More needs to be said here about what "obsoletes" means in this case.]] The v3 format will be used as part of the new RFC series described in [RFC6949]. The new format will be handled by one or more new processors for checking the XML and converting it to other representations. Features of the expected processors are described in Appendix B. Note that the vocabulary contains certain constructs that might not affect the rendering of the final text; however, they can provide useful data for other uses (such index generation, populating a keyword database, or syntax checks). The following is a hopefully-complete list of all the technical changes between [XML2RFCv2] and this document, as well as the design criteria for those changes. Note that the list is for the current version of this document only. There are additional changes that are expected to the v3 vocabulary that are being discussed. Also note that changes to the design choices for the differences are also expected. 1.1. Design Criteria for the Changes in v3 The design criteria of the changes from v2 to v3 are: o The intention is that starting and editing a v3 document will be easier than for a v2 document. o There will be good v2-to-v3 conversion tools for when an author wants to change versions. o There are no current plans to make v3 XML the required submission representation for drafts or RFCs. That might happen eventually, but it is likely to be years away. There is a desire to keep as much of the v2 grammar as makes sense Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 5] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 within the above design criteria and not to make gratuitous changes to the v2 grammar. Another way to say this is "we would rather encourage backward compatibility but not be constrained by it". Still, the goal of starting and editing a v3 document being easier than for a v2 document is more important than backwards compatibility with v2, given the latter two design criteria. v3 is upwards compatible with v2, meaning that a v2 document is meant to be a valid v3 document as well. However, some features of v2 are deprecated in v3 in favor of new elements. Deprecated features are listed in Section 1.2.3, and are described in [XML2RFCv2], not in this document. 1.2. Differences from v2 to v3 The format changes in v3 are listed in the following subsections. 1.2.1. New Elements in v3 o Add <dl>, <ul>, and <ol> as new ways to make lists. This is a significant change from v2 in that the child under these elements is <li>, not <t>. <li> has a model of either containing one or more <t> elements, or containing the flowing text normally found in <t>. o Add <strong>, <b>, <em>, <i>, <tt>, <sub>, and <sup> for character formatting. o Add <aside> for incidental text that will be indented when displayed. o Add <sourcecode> to differentiate from <artwork>. o Add <blockquote> to indicate a quotation as in a paragraph-like format. o Add <titleelement> to sections, figures, and texttables to allow character formatting (fixed-width font) in their titles, and to allow references. o Add <postalLine>, free text that represents one line of the address. o Add <displayreference> to allow display of more mneumonic anchor names for automatically-included references. o Add <refcontent> to allow better control of text in a reference. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 6] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 o Add <alternateURI> to allow reference to things such as DOIs. 1.2.2. New Attributes for Existing Elements o Add "sortRefs", "symRefs", "tocDepth", and "tocInclude" attributes to <rfc> to cover processor instructions (PIs) that were in v2 that are still needed in the grammar. o Add "ascii" attributes to <author>, <email>, <organization>, <street>, <city>, <region> and <code>. This allows an author to specify their information in their native scripts as the primary entry and still allow the ASCII-equivalent values to appear in the processed documents. o Add "xml:lang" attribute to <artwork>, <postal>, and <author>. This is sometimes useful for renderers which display different fonts for ideographic characters used in China and Japan. o Add the "section", "relative", and "sectionFormat" attributes to <xref>. o Add the "numbered" and "removeinrfc" attributes to <section>. o Add "autogeneratedBoilerplateText", "autogeneratedSectionNumber", "autogeneratedFigureNumber", and "autogeneratedTableNumber" attributes to <rfc>, <section>, <figure>, and <texttable>, respectively. o Add the optional "outputType" to <rfc> to tell processors what kind of document is being produced: an Internet Draft, an RFC, or a private document. 1.2.3. Elements and Attributes Deprecated from v2 Deprecated elements and attributes are legacy vocabulary from v2 that are supported for input to v3 processors. They are likely to be removed from those processors in the future. See Appendix B for more information on processors and how they will handle deprecated features. o Deprecate <list> in favor of <dl>, <ul>, and <ol>. o Deprecate <spanx>; replace it with <strong>, <b>, <em>, <i>, and <tt>. o Deprecate <vspace> because the major use for it, creating pseudo- paragraph-breaks in lists, is now handled properly. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 7] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 o Deprecate <facsimile> because it is rarely used and is not actually useful; <email> is a much more useful way to get in touch with authors. o Deprecate <format> because it is not useful and has caused surprise for authors in the past. If the goal is to provide a single URI for a reference, use the "target" attribute on <reference> instead. o Deprecate the "title" attribute in <section>, <figure>, and <texttable> in favor of the new <titleelement>. o Deprecate the "alt", "height", "src", and "width" attributes in <figure> because they overlap with the attributes in <artwork>. o Deprecate the "xml:space" attribute in <artwork> because there was only one useful value. Deprecate "height" and "width" attribute. o Deprecate the "pageno" attribute in <xref> because it was unused in v2. Deprecate the "none" and "title" values for the "format" attribute in <xref> because the former makes no sense semantically and the latter because it has unpredictable output. 1.2.4. Additional Changes from v2 o Allow non-ASCII characters in the format; the characters that are actually allowed will be determined by the RFC Editor. o Allow <artwork> to be used on its own in <section> (no longer confine it to a figure). o Give more specifics of handling the "type" attribute in <artwork>. o In <address>, allow the sub-elements to be in any order. o Allow <strong>, <b>, <em>, <i>, <tt>, <eref>, and <xref> in <cref>. o Allow the sub-elements inside a <reference> to be in any order. o Turned off the auto-generation of anchors in <cref> because there is no use case for them that cannot be achieved in other ways. o Allow more than one <artwork>, or more than one <sourcecode>, in <figure>. o In <front>, make <date> optional. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 8] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 o In <postal>, allow the sub-elements to be in any order. Also allow the inclusion of the new <postalLine> instead of the older elements. o In <ttcol>, allow <xref>, <eref>, <iref>, and <cref> as optional children. o Do not generate the grammar from a DTD, but instead get it directly from the Relax Next Generation (RNG) grammar [RNG]. 1.3. Syntax Notation The XML vocabulary here is defined in prose, based on the Relax NG schema ([RNC]) contained in Appendix E (specified in Relax NG Compact Notation, "RNC"). Note that the schema can be used for automated validity checks, but certain constraints are only described in prose (example: the conditionally required presence of the "abbrev" attribute). 2. Elements The sections below describe all elements and their attributes. Note that attributes not labeled "mandatory" are optional. Many elements have an optional "anchor" attribute. In all cases, the value of the "anchor" attribute needs to be a valid XML "Name" (Section 2.3 of [XML]). In short, it is a text string with no spaces or colons; hyphens and underscores are allowed. 2.1. <abstract> Contains the abstract of the document. See [RFCSTYLE] for more information on restrictions for the abstract. This element appears as child element of: <front> (Section 2.28). Content model: One or more <t> elements (Section 2.56) 2.2. <address> Provides address information for the author. This element appears as child element of: <author> (Section 2.8). Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 9] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 Content model: In any order: o <postal> elements (Section 2.39) o <phone> elements (Section 2.38) o <facsimile> elements (Section 2.25) o <email> elements (Section 2.23) o <uri> elements (Section 2.63) 2.3. <alternateURI> A URI that is a non-normative location for a different pointer for this document. This can be used during Internet-Draft development to point to an author's rendition of the draft. When published as an RFC, this entity is filled in by the RFC Editor to point to approved URIs that also refer to this document, such as DOIs. This element appears as child element of: <front> (Section 2.28). Content model: only text content. 2.3.1. 'type' attribute The type of URI. Some possible values include "DOI" and "personal". 2.4. <annotation> Provides additional prose augmenting a bibliographical reference. For instance: <annotation> Latest version available at <eref target='http://www.w3.org/TR/xml'/>. </annotation> ...will generate the text used in the reference for [XML]. This element appears as child element of: <reference> (Section 2.44). Content model: In any order: Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 10] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 o Text o <xref> elements (Section 2.66) o <eref> elements (Section 2.24) o <iref> elements (Section 2.30) o <cref> elements (Section 2.16) o <spanx> elements (Section 2.51) o <tt> elements (Section 2.60) o <strong> elements (Section 2.53) o <b> elements (Section 2.9) o <em> elements (Section 2.22) o <i> elements (Section 2.29) o <sub> elements (Section 2.54) o <sup> elements (Section 2.55) 2.4.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the annotation. 2.5. <area> Provides information about the IETF area to which this document relates (currently not used when generating documents). The value ought to be either the fullname or the abbreviation of one of the IETF areas as listed on <http://www.ietf.org/iesg/area.html>. The list at the time that this document is being published is: "Applications", "app", "General", "gen", "Internet", "int", "Operations and Management", "ops", "Real-time Applications and Infrastructure", "rai", "Routing", "rtg", "Security", "sec", "Transport", "tsv", but that list will likely change over time. This element appears as child element of: <front> (Section 2.28). Content model: only text content. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 11] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 2.6. <artwork> This element allows the inclusion of "artwork" into the document. <artwork> provides full control of horizontal whitespace and line breaks, and thus is used for a variety of things, such as: o diagrams ("line art"), o complex tables, or o protocol unit diagrams. Alternatively, the "src" attribute allows referencing an external graphics file, such as a bitmap or a vector drawing, using a URI. In this case, the textual content acts as fallback for output representations that do not support graphics, and thus ought to contain either a "line art" variant of the graphics, or otherwise prose that describes the included image in sufficient detail. If the artwork includes either "&" or "<" characters, or the string "]]>" those characters need to be encoded using escaping or CDATA block(s); see <sourcecode> for a fuller description of these solutions. In [XML2RFCv2], the <artwork> element was also used for source code and formal languages; in v3, this is now done with <sourcecode>. This element appears as child element of: <aside> (Section 2.7), <blockquote> (Section 2.11), <dd> (Section 2.18), <figure> (Section 2.26), <li> (Section 2.32), <section> (Section 2.48), and <t> (Section 2.56). Content model: Text 2.6.1. 'align' attribute Controls whether the artwork appears left (default), centered, or right. Allowed values: o "left" (default) o "center" Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 12] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 o "right" 2.6.2. 'alt' attribute Alternative text description of the artwork (not just the caption). 2.6.3. 'height' attribute Deprecated. 2.6.4. 'name' attribute A filename suitable for the contents (such as for extraction to a local file). This attribute generally isn't used for document generation, but it can be helpful for other kinds of tools (such as automated syntax checkers which work by extracting the artwork). 2.6.5. 'src' attribute The URI of a graphics file. Note that this can be a "data" URI ([RFC2397]) as well, in which case the graphics file is wholly part of the XML file. [[anchor7: Add an example of in-lined SVG here.]] 2.6.6. 'type' attribute Specifies the type of the artwork. The value of this attribute is free text with certain values designated as preferred. A private processor (as described in Appendix B) might add type-specific formatting to artwork with the preferred values. If a processor encounters a value for "type" that is not one of the preferred values, it can issue a warning but should still use the artwork as if it had no "type" attribute. The preferred values for <artwork> types are: o ascii-art o call-flow o hex-dump o svg Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 13] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 The RFC Editor will maintain a complete list of the preferred values on its web site, and that list is expected to be updated over time. Thus, a consumer of v3 XML should not cause a failure when it encounters an unexpected type. 2.6.7. 'width' attribute Deprecated. 2.6.8. 'xml:lang' attribute Allows specification of the language used. This is sometimes useful for renderers which display different fonts for ideographic characters used in China and Japan. 2.6.9. 'xml:space' attribute Deprecated. 2.7. <aside> This element is a container for content that is semantically less important or tangential to the content that surrounds it. The elements inside this container are indented from both margins when displayed. This element appears as child element of: <section> (Section 2.48).

This is used both for the document itself (at the beginning of the document) and for referenced documents (inside of <reference>). The <author> elements contained within the document's <front> element are used to fill the boilerplate, and also to generate the "Author's Address" section (see [RFCSTYLE]). Note that an "author" can also be just an organization (by not specifying any of the name attributes, but adding the <organization> child element). Furthermore, the "role" attribute can be used to mark an author as "editor". This is reflected both on the front page and in bibliographical references. Note that this specification does not define a precise meaning for the term "editor". For RFCs, it is the stream that determines who is listed as authors or editors. See Section "Authors vs. Contributors" of [RFCPOLICY] for more information. This element appears as child element of: <front> (Section 2.28). Content model: In this order: 1. One optional <organization> element (Section 2.37) 2. One optional <address> element (Section 2.2) 2.8.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the author's full name. 2.8.2. 'fullname' attribute The full name (used in the automatically generated "Author's Address" section). 2.8.3. 'initials' attribute Author initials (used on the front page and in references).

'role' attribute Specifies the role the author had in creating the document. Allowed values: o "editor" 2.8.5. 'surname' attribute The author's surname. 2.8.6. 'xml:lang' attribute Allows specification of the language used. This is sometimes useful for renderers which display different fonts for CJK characters. 2.9. <b> Causes the text to be displayed in bold. It is almost always a better idea to use the <strong> element instead. This element can be combined with other character formatting elements, and the formatting will be additive.

'source' attribute Holds the "source" of a comment, such as the name or the initials of the person who made the comment. 2.17. <date> Provides information about the publication date. Note that this element is used both for the boilerplate of the document being produced, and also inside bibliographic references that use the <front> element. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 20] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 In the first case, it defines the date of publication for the current document (Internet Draft or RFC). When producing Internet-Drafts, the Draft Processor uses this date to compute the expiration date (see [IDGUIDE]). When "year", "month" or "day" are left out, the processor will attempt to use the current system date if the attributes that are specified do match the system date. Also in the first case, that month names, if given, need to match the full English month name: "January", "February", "March", "April", "May, "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", or "December". In the second case, the date information can have prose text for the month or year. For example, vague dates (year="ca. 2000"), date ranges (year="2012-2013") non-specific months (month="Second quarter") and so on, are allowed.

This allows authors to display more mneumonic anchor names for automatically-included references. For example, if the reference uses the anchor "RFC6949", the following would cause that anchor in the body of displayed documents to be "RFC-dev": <displayreference from="RFC6449" to="RFC-dev"/> This element appears as child element of: <back> (Section 2.10).

The value is expected to be the scheme-specific part of a "tel" URI (so does not include the prefix "tel:"), using the "global numbers" Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 35] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 syntax. See Section 3 of [RFC3966] for details. This element appears as child element of: <address> (Section 2.2). Content model: only text content. 2.39. <postal> Contains optional child elements providing postal information. These elements will be displayed in an order that is processor-specific. A postal address can contain only a set of <street>, <city>, <region>, <code>, and <country> elements, or only an ordered set of <postalLine> elements, but not both. This element appears as child element of: <address> (Section 2.2). Content model: Either: o In any order: * <street> elements (Section 2.52) * <city> elements (Section 2.13) * <region> elements (Section 2.46) * <code> elements (Section 2.14) * <country> elements (Section 2.15) Or: o One or more <postalLine> elements (Section 2.40) 2.39.1. 'xml:lang' attribute Allows specification of the language used. This is sometimes useful for renderers which display different fonts for CJK characters. 2.40. <postalLine> Represents one line of a postal address. When more than one <postalLine> is given, the processor emits them in the order given. This element appears as child element of: <postal> (Section 2.39). Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 36] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 Content model: only text content. 2.40.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the text in the address line. 2.41. <postamble> Gives text that appears at the bottom of a figure or table. This element appears as child element of: <figure> (Section 2.26), and <texttable> (Section 2.57). Content model: In any order: o Text o <xref> elements (Section 2.66) o <eref> elements (Section 2.24) o <iref> elements (Section 2.30) o <cref> elements (Section 2.16) o <spanx> elements (Section 2.51) o <tt> elements (Section 2.60) o <strong> elements (Section 2.53) o <b> elements (Section 2.9) o <em> elements (Section 2.22) o <i> elements (Section 2.29) o <sub> elements (Section 2.54) o <sup> elements (Section 2.55) 2.42. <preamble> Gives text that appears at the top of a figure or table. This element appears as child element of: <figure> (Section 2.26), Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 37] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 and <texttable> (Section 2.57). Content model: In any order: o Text o <xref> elements (Section 2.66) o <eref> elements (Section 2.24) o <iref> elements (Section 2.30) o <cref> elements (Section 2.16) o <spanx> elements (Section 2.51) o <tt> elements (Section 2.60) o <strong> elements (Section 2.53) o <b> elements (Section 2.9) o <em> elements (Section 2.22) o <i> elements (Section 2.29) o <sub> elements (Section 2.54) o <sup> elements (Section 2.55) 2.43. <refcontent> Text that should appear between the title and the date of a reference. The purpose of this element is to prevent the need to abuse <seriesInfo> to get such text in a reference. For example: <reference anchor="April1"> <front> <title>On Being A Fool</title> <author initials="K." surname="Phunny" fullname="Knot Phunny"/> <date year="2000" month="April"/> </front> <refcontent>Self-published pamphlet</refcontent> </reference> Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 38] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 would render as: [April1] Phunny, K., "On Being A Fool", Self-published pamphlet, April 2000. This element appears as child element of: <reference> (Section 2.44). Content model: In any order: o Text o <tt> elements (Section 2.60) o <b> elements (Section 2.9) o <i> elements (Section 2.29) o <em> elements (Section 2.22) o <strong> elements (Section 2.53) o <sub> elements (Section 2.54) o <sup> elements (Section 2.55) 2.43.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the added text. 2.44. <reference> Represents a bibliographical reference. This element appears as child element of: <references> (Section 2.45). Content model: In this order: 1. One <front> element (Section 2.28) 2. In any order: * <seriesInfo> elements (Section 2.49) Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 39] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 * <format> elements (Section 2.27) * <refcontent> elements (Section 2.43) * <annotation> elements (Section 2.4) 2.44.1. 'anchor' attribute (mandatory) Document-wide unique identifier for this reference. Usually, this will be used both to "label" the reference in the references section, and as an identifier in links to this reference entry. 2.44.2. 'target' attribute Holds the URI for the reference. Note that depending on the <seriesInfo> element, a URI might not be needed, nor desirable, as it can be automatically generated (for instance, for RFCs). 2.45. <references> Contains a set of bibliographical references. In the early days of the RFC series, there was only one "References" section per RFC. This convention was later changed to group references into two sets, "Normative" and "Informative" as described in [RFCSTYLE]). This vocabulary supports the split with the "title" attribute. This element appears as child element of: <back> (Section 2.10). Content model: One or more <reference> elements (Section 2.44) 2.45.1. 'title' attribute Provides the title for the References section (defaulting to "References"). In general, the title should be either "Normative References" or "Informative References". 2.46. <region> Provides the region name in a postal address. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 40] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 This element appears as child element of: <postal> (Section 2.39). Content model: only text content. 2.46.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the region name. 2.47. <rfc> This is the root element of the xml2rfc vocabulary. Processors distinguish between RFC mode ("number" attribute being present) and Internet-Draft mode ("docName" attribute being present): it is invalid to specify both. Setting neither "number" nor "docName" can be useful for producing other types of document but is out-of-scope for this specification. Content model: In this order: 1. One <front> element (Section 2.28) 2. One <middle> element (Section 2.34) 3. One optional <back> element (Section 2.10) 2.47.1. 'autogeneratedBoilerplateText' attribute The full boilerplate text for this document. This attribute and its value are automatically generated by the RFC Processor, and are ignored by other processors. If the value already exists when the RFC Processor is run, it is replaced. 2.47.2. 'autogeneratedISSN' attribute Holds the ISSN of the RFC series at the time of publication. This is filled in by the RFC Processor. 2.47.3. 'category' attribute Document category (see Appendix A.1). Allowed values: o "std" Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 41] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 o "bcp" o "info" o "exp" o "historic" 2.47.4. 'consensus' attribute Affects the generated boilerplate. See [RFC5741] for more information. Allowed values: o "no" o "yes" 2.47.5. 'docName' attribute For Internet-Drafts, this specifies the draft name (which appears below the title). Note that the file extension is not part of the draft, so in general it should end with the current draft number ("-", plus two digits). Furthermore, it is good practice to disambiguate current editor copies from submitted drafts (for instance, by replacing the draft number with the string "latest"). See [IDGUIDE] for further information. 2.47.6. 'ipr' attribute Represents the Intellectual Property status of the document. See Appendix A.2 for details. Allowed values: o "full2026" o "noDerivativeWorks2026" o "none" Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 42] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 o "full3667" o "noModification3667" o "noDerivatives3667" o "full3978" o "noModification3978" o "noDerivatives3978" o "trust200811" o "noModificationTrust200811" o "noDerivativesTrust200811" o "trust200902" o "noModificationTrust200902" o "noDerivativesTrust200902" o "pre5378Trust200902" 2.47.7. 'iprExtract' attribute Identifies a Section within the document for which extraction "as-is" is explicitly allowed (only relevant for historic values of the "ipr" attribute). 2.47.8. 'number' attribute The number of the RFC to be produced. 2.47.9. 'obsoletes' attribute A comma-separated list of RFC numbers or Internet-Draft names. Processors ought to parse the attribute value, so that incorrect references can be detected and, depending on output representation, hyperlinks can be generated. Also, the value ought to be reformatted to insert whitespace after each comma if not already present. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 43] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 2.47.10. 'outputType' attribute The type of document that will be output by a processor. This affects what the processor might output as boilerplate text at the beginning and end of the output document. Allowed values: o "draft" (default) o "rfc" o "private" 2.47.11. 'seriesNo' attribute When producing a document within document series (such as "STD"): the number within that series. 2.47.12. 'sortRefs' attribute Specifies whether or not a processor will sort the references in each reference section. Allowed values: o "yes" o "no" (default) 2.47.13. 'submissionType' attribute The document stream. See Section 2 of [RFC5741] for details. Allowed values: o "IETF" (default) o "IAB" o "IRTF" o "independent" Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 44] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 2.47.14. 'symRefs' attribute Specifies whether or not a processor will use symbolic references (such as "[RFC2119]"). If the value for this is "no", the references come out as numbers (such as "[3]"). Allowed values: o "yes" (default) o "no" 2.47.15. 'tocDepth' attribute Specifies number of levels of heading for a processor to include in the table of contents; the default is "3". 2.47.16. 'tocInclude' attribute Specifies whether or not a processor will include a table of contents in generated files. Allowed values: o "yes" (default) o "no" 2.47.17. 'updates' attribute A comma-separated list of RFC numbers or Internet-Draft names. Processors ought to parse the attribute value, so that incorrect references can be detected and, depending on output representation, hyperlinks can be generated. Also, the value ought to be reformatted to insert whitespace after each comma if not already present. 2.47.18. 'xml:lang' attribute The natural language used in the document (defaults to "en"). See Section 2.12 of [XML] for more information. 2.48. <section> Represents a section (when inside a <middle> element) or an appendix (when inside a <back> element). Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 45] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 Sub-sections are created by nesting <section> elements inside <section> elements. Sections are allowed to be empty. This element appears as child element of: <back> (Section 2.10), <middle> (Section 2.34), and <section> (Section 2.48). Content model: In this order: 1. One optional <titleelement> element (Section 2.59) 2. In any order: * <t> elements (Section 2.56) * <aside> elements (Section 2.7) * <blockquote> elements (Section 2.11) * <figure> elements (Section 2.26) * <texttable> elements (Section 2.57) * <iref> elements (Section 2.30) * <artwork> elements (Section 2.6) * <sourcecode> elements (Section 2.50) 3. Optional <section> elements (Section 2.48) 2.48.1. 'anchor' attribute Document-wide unique identifier for this section. 2.48.2. 'autogeneratedSectionNumber' attribute The number for this section, if one is generated by the processor. This attribute and its value are automatically generated by the RFC Processor, and are ignored by other processors. If the value already exists when the RFC Processor is run, it is replaced. 2.48.3. 'numbered' attribute If set to "no", this section does not get a section number. Processors will verify that such a section is not followed by a numbered section in a part, and will verify that the section is a Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 46] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 top-level section. Allowed values: o "yes" (default) o "no" 2.48.4. 'removeInRFC' attribute If set to "yes", this section is marked in the processor with text indicating that it should be removed before the document is published as an RFC. Allowed values: o "yes" o "no" (default) 2.48.5. 'title' attribute Deprecated. Use <titleelement> instead. 2.48.6. 'toc' attribute Indicates to a processor whether or not the section is to be included in the table of contents. This only takes effect if the level of the section would have appeared in the table of contents based on the "tocDepth" attribute of the <rfc> element, and of course only if the table of contents is being created based on the "tocInclude" attribute of the <rfc> element. If this is set to "exclude", any section below this one will be excluded as well. The "default" value indicates to include the section if it would be included by the tocDepth attribute of the <rfc> element. Allowed values: o "include" o "exclude" o "default" (default) Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 47] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 2.49. <seriesInfo> Specifies the document series in which this document appears, and also specifies an identifier within that series. This element appears as child element of: <reference> (Section 2.44). Content model: this element does not have any contents. 2.49.1. 'asciiname' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the name field. 2.49.2. 'asciivalue' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the value field. 2.49.3. 'name' attribute (mandatory) The name of the series. The following names trigger specific processing (such as for auto- generating links, and adding descriptions such as "work in progress"): "BCP", "FYI", "Internet-Draft", "RFC", and "STD". 2.49.4. 'value' attribute (mandatory) The identifier within the series specified by the "name" attribute. For BCPs, FYIs, RFCs, and STDs this is the number within the series. For Internet-Drafts, it is the full draft name (ending with the two- digit version number). 2.50. <sourcecode> This element allows the inclusion of sourcecode into the document. <sourcecode> provides full control of horizontal whitespace and line breaks. It is thus useful for source code and formal languages (such as ABNF or the RNC notation used in this document). For artwork such as character-based art, diagrams of message layouts, and so on, use the <artwork> element instead. A common problem authors have with <sourcecode> is that the XML processor returns errors if the text in the artwork contains either the "&" or "<" character, or the string "]]>". To avoid these problems, the "&" and "<" characters may be escaped using the strings Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 48] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 "&" and "<", respectively; the "]]>" string can be represented as "]]>". Alternatively, they may be surrounded in a CDATA structure: "<![CDATA[]]>". For example: Desired output: allowed-chars = "." | "," | "&" | "<" | ">" | "|" Using escaping: <sourcecode> allowed-chars = "." | "," | "&" | "<" | ">" | "|" </sourcecode> Using CDATA: <sourcecode> <![CDATA[ allowed-chars = "." | "," | "&" | "<" | ">" | "|"]]> </sourcecode> Using CDATA is not a panacea, but it does help prevent having to use escapes in places where using using escapes can cause other problems, such as difficulty of inclusion from other documents. This element appears as child element of: <aside> (Section 2.7), <blockquote> (Section 2.11), <dd> (Section 2.18), <figure> (Section 2.26), <li> (Section 2.32), <section> (Section 2.48), and <t> (Section 2.56). Content model: only text content. 2.50.1. 'name' attribute A filename suitable for the contents (such as for extraction to a local file). This attribute generally isn't used for document generation, but it can be helpful for other kinds of tools (such as automated syntax checkers which work by extracting the source code). 2.50.2. 'type' attribute Specifies the type of the sourcecode. The value of this attribute is free text with certain values designated as preferred. A private processor (as described in Appendix B) might add type-specific formatting to sourcecode with the preferred values. If a processor encounters a value for "type" that is not one of the preferred values, it can issue a warning but should still use the artwork as if it had no "type" attribute. The preferred values for <sourcecode> types are: Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 49] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 o abnf o asn.1 o bash o c++ o c o cbor o dtd o java o javascript o json o mib o perl o pseudocode o python o rnc o xml The RFC Editor will maintain a complete list of the preferred values on its web site, and that list is expected to be updated over time. Thus, a consumer of v3 XML should not cause a failure when it encounters an unexpected type. 2.51. <spanx> Deprecated. Use <b>, <i>, and <tt> instead. This element appears as child element of: <annotation> (Section 2.4), <c> (Section 2.12), <postamble> (Section 2.41), <preamble> (Section 2.42), and <t> (Section 2.56).

Allowed values: o "default" o "preserve" (default) 2.52. <street> Provides a street address. This element appears as child element of: <postal> (Section 2.39). Content model: only text content. 2.52.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the street address. 2.53. <strong> Indicates text that is semantically strong. This element will be displayed as bold after processing. This element has the same effects as <b>. This element can be combined with other character formatting elements, and the formatting will be additive.

'anchor' attribute Document-wide unique identifier for this paragraph. 2.57. <texttable> Contains a table, consisting of an optional preamble, a header line, rows, an optional postamble, and an optional title. The number of columns in the table is determined by the number of <ttcol> elements. The number of rows in the table is determined by the number of <c> elements divided by the number of columns. There is no requirement that the number of <c> elements be evenly divisible by the number of columns. This element appears as child element of: <aside> (Section 2.7), and <section> (Section 2.48).

'anchor' attribute Document-wide unique identifier for this table. Furthermore, the presence of this attribute causes the table to be numbered. 2.57.3. 'autogeneratedTableNumber' attribute The number for this table, if one is generated by the processor. This attribute and its value are automatically generated by the RFC Processor, and are ignored by other processors. If the value already exists when the RFC Processor is run, it is replaced. 2.57.4. 'style' attribute Selects which borders should be drawn, where o "all" means borders around all table cells, o "full" is like "all" except no horizontal lines between table rows (except below the column titles), o "headers" adds just a separator between column titles and rows, and o "none" means no borders at all.

'suppress-title' attribute Tables that have an "anchor" attribute will automatically get an autogenerated title (such as "Table 1"), even if the "title" attribute is absent. Setting this attribute to "true" will prevent this. Allowed values: o "true" o "false" (default) 2.57.6. 'title' attribute Deprecated. Use <titleelement> instead. 2.58. <title> Represents the document title. When this element appears in the <front> element of the current document, the title might also appear in page headers or footers.

'align' attribute Determines the horizontal alignment within the table column. Allowed values: o "left" (default) o "center" o "right" 2.61.2. 'width' attribute The desired column width (as integer 0..100 followed by "%"). 2.62. <ul> An unordered list. The labels on the items will be symbols picked by the processor. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 59] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 This element appears as child element of: <dd> (Section 2.18), <li> (Section 2.32), and <t> (Section 2.56). Content model: One or more <li> elements (Section 2.32) 2.62.1. 'empty' attribute Defines whether or not the label is empty. empty="true" indicates that no label be shown. Allowed values: o "false" (default) o "true" 2.62.2. 'spacing' attribute Defines whether or not there is a blank line between entries. spacing="normal" indicates a single blank line, while spacing="compact" indicates no space between. Allowed values: o "normal" (default) o "compact" 2.63. <uri> Contains a web address associated with the author. The contents should be a valid URI (see Section 3 of [RFC3986]). This element appears as child element of: <address> (Section 2.2). Content model: only text content. 2.64. <vspace> Deprecated. This element appears as child element of: <t> (Section 2.56).

'blankLines' attribute Deprecated. 2.65. <workgroup> This element is used to specify the Working Group (IETF) or Research Group (IRTF) from which the document originates, if any. The recommended format is the official name of the Working Group (with some capitalization). In Internet-Drafts, this is used in the upper left corner of the boilerplate, replacing the "Network Working Group" string. Formatting software can append the words "Working Group" or "Research Group", depending on the "submissionType" property on the <rfc> element (Section 2.47.13). This element appears as child element of: <front> (Section 2.28). Content model: only text content. 2.66. <xref> Inserts a reference to a different part of a document. The generated text depends on whether the <xref> is empty (in which case the processor will try to generate a meaningful text fragment), and the nature of the referenced document part. [[anchor12: Need to say more about the processor output if the element is empyt and if it has text.]] Any element that allows the "anchor" attribute can be referenced, however there are restrictions with respect to the text content being generated. For instance, a <t> can be a reference target, however, because paragraphs are not (visibly) numbered, the author will have to make sure that the prose is sufficient for a reader to understand what is being referred to. This element appears as child element of: <annotation> (Section 2.4), <b> (Section 2.9), <c> (Section 2.12), <cref> (Section 2.16), <dd> (Section 2.18), <dt> (Section 2.21), <em> (Section 2.22), <i> (Section 2.29), <li> (Section 2.32), <postamble> (Section 2.41), <preamble> (Section 2.42), <strong> (Section 2.53), <sub> (Section 2.54), <sup> (Section 2.55), <t> (Section 2.56), <titleelement> (Section 2.59), <tt> (Section 2.60), and <ttcol> (Section 2.61). Content model: only text content. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 61] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 2.66.1. 'format' attribute This attribute is used to control the format of the generated reference text. "counter" Inserts just a counter; this is used for the number of a section, figure, or table. For example: <section anchor="overview">Protocol Overview</section> . . . See Section <xref target="overview" format="counter"/> for an overview. might generate See Section 1.7 for an overview. "default" Inserts a text fragment that describes the referenced part completely, such as "Section 2" or "Table 4" for internal links, or "[XML]" for links to references. For example: <section anchor="overview">Protocol Overview</section> . . . See <xref target="overview"/> for an overview. might generate See Section 1.7 for an overview. "none" This attribute value is deprecated. "title" This attribute value is deprecated. Allowed values: o "counter" o "title" Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 62] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 o "none" o "default" (default) 2.66.2. 'pageno' attribute Deprecated. Allowed values: o "true" o "false" (default) 2.66.3. 'relative' attribute Specifies a relative reference from the main target. [[anchor13: Need more description here about how this will be displayed.]] 2.66.4. 'section' attribute Specifies a section for the generated reference. For example, See <xref section="2.3" target="RFC6949"/> for more inforation. would generate See Section 2.3 of [RFC6949] for more information. 2.66.5. 'sectionFormat' attribute The format that the section reference will be displayed in. The acceptable values are: o "of" (default) o "comma" o "parens" For example: See <xref target="RFC6949" section="2.3" sectionFormat="of"/> for more inforation. See <xref target="RFC6949" section="2.4" sectionFormat="comma"/> for more inforation. See <xref target="RFC6949" section="2.5" sectionFormat="parens"/> for more inforation. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 63] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 would generate See Section 2.3 of [RFC6949] for more information. See [RFC6949], Section 2.4 for more information. See [RFC6949] (Section 2.5) for more information. 2.66.6. 'target' attribute (mandatory) Identifies the document component being referenced. The value needs to match the value of the "anchor" attribute of another element in the document. 3. Internationalization Considerations This format is based on [XML], thus does not have any issues representing arbitrary Unicode [UNICODE] characters in text content. The RFC Editor may restrict some of the characters that can be used in a particular RFC; the rules for such restrictions are covered in [[anchor14: some other document to be named later when it is stable]]. 4. Security Considerations The "name" attribute on the <artwork> element (Section 2.6.4) can be used to derive a filename for saving to a local file system. Trusting this kind of information without pre-processing is a known security risk; see Section 4.3 of [RFC6266] for more information. The "type" attribute of the <artwork> and <sourcecode> elements is meant to encourage processors to automatically extract known types of content from an RFC or Internet Draft. While extraction is probalby safe, those processors might also think that they could further process the extracted content such as by rendering artwork or executing code. Doing so without first sanity-checking the extracted content is clearly a terrible idea from a security perspective. More generally, a processor that is reading RFCs or Internet Drafts needs to be suspicious of any content that it intends to post-process. Furthermore, all security considerations related to XML processing are relevant as well (see Section 7 of [RFC3470]). 5. IANA Considerations 5.1. Internet Media Type Registration IANA maintains the registry of Internet media types [BCP13] at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types>. Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 64] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 This document updates the specification for the Internet media type "application/rfc+xml" from the one in [XML2RFCv2]. The following is to be registered with IANA. Type name: application Subtype name: rfc+xml Required parameters: There are no required parameters. Optional parameters: "charset": This parameter has identical semantics as the charset parameter of the "application/xml" media type specified in [RFC3023]. Encoding considerations: Identical to those of "application/xml" as described in Section 3.2 of [RFC3023]. Security considerations: As defined in Section 4. In addition, as this media type uses the "+xml" convention, it inherits the security considerations described in Section 10 of [RFC3023]. Interoperability considerations: N/A Published specification: This specification. Applications that use this media type: Applications that either transform xml2rfc to output representations such as plain text or HTML, plus additional analysis tools. Fragment identifier considerations: The "anchor" attribute is used for assigning document-wide unique identifiers that can be uses as shorthand pointers, as described in Section 2.8 of [XPOINTER]. Additional information: Deprecated alias names for this type: None. Magic number(s): As specified for "application/xml" in Section 3.2 of [RFC3023]. File extension(s): .xml Macintosh file type code(s): TEXT Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 65] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 Person & email address to contact for further information: See Authors Section.

The /rfc/@category Attribute For RFCs, the category determines the "maturity level" (see Section 4 of [RFC2026]). The allowed values are "std" for "Standards Track", "bcp" for "BCP", "info" for "Informational", "exp" for "Experimental", and "historic" for "Historic". For Internet-Drafts, the category attribute is not needed, but will appear on the front page as "Intended Status". Supplying this information can be useful to reviewers.

The /rfc/@ipr Attribute This attribute value can take a long list of values, each of which describes an IPR policy for the document. This attribute's values are not the result of a grand plan, but remain simply for historic reasons. Of these values, only a few are currently in use; all others are supported by the various tools for backwards compatibility with old source files. Note: some variations of the boilerplate are selected based on the document's date; therefore it is important to specify the "year", "month" and "day" attributes of the <date> element when archiving the XML source of an Internet-Draft on the day of submission. Disclaimer: THIS ONLY PROVIDES IMPLEMENTATION INFORMATION. IF YOU NEED LEGAL ADVICE, PLEASE CONTACT A LAWYER. For further information, refer to <http://trustee.ietf.org/docs/IETF-Copyright-FAQ.pdf>. For the current "Status Of This Memo" text, the submissionType attribute determines whether a statement about "Code Components" is inserted (which is the case for the value "IETF", which is the default). Other values, such as "independent", suppress this part of the text. A.2.1. Current Values: '*trust200902' The name for these values refers to the "IETF TRUST Legal Provisions Relating to IETF Documents", sometimes simply called the "TLP, that went into effect on February 15, 2009 ([TLP2.0]).

The special value "none" was also used back then, and denied the IETF any rights beyond publication as Internet-Draft. Appendix B. The v3 Format and Processors This section describes topics that are specific to processors. Note that there is some discussion of processors in the main body of the document as well. For example, some elements have descriptions of how a processor might create output from the element. A processor has multiple roles. The processor checks whether or not the input is valid XML; it also checks whether or not the input XML matches this format. It may have one or more outputs, depending on the way that it is invoked. It might convert the XML to different XML, or to a different representation such as HTML or plain text, or do no conversion at all. It also might give diagnostic warnings Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 71] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 about how to improve the input. In v2, the grammar was specified as a DTD. In v3, the grammar is specified only as Relax Next Generation (RNG). This means that processors need to work from the RNG, not from a DTD. Some of the features of the v3 grammar cannot be specified as a DTD. This section differentiates between three types of processors: o RFC Processor -- The processor used by the RFC Editor to process the input from one of the RFC streams, and to process XML produced during the RFC editing process. o Draft Processor -- The processor used by the Internet Draft submission tool. o Private Processors -- There may be processors that are meant to run on the computers of authors. These processors may be used to produce interim versions of the non-canonical representations so that authors can see how their XML might later be rendered; to create documents in representations different than those supported by the RFC Editor; and to convert XML that has external information into XML that has that external information included. It is expected that a single piece of software will be used for both the RFC Processor and the Draft Processor, with different application settings to differentiate between them. It is also expected that the same software could be used as a Private Processor; others might create Private Processors independently, or using parts of, the software used by the RFC Editor. The RFC Processor and Draft Processor must have clear error reporting, giving more context than just a line number. For example, the error messages will differentiate between errors in XML and those from the v3 format. B.1. Including External Text All XML processors for v3 are expected to support XInclude [XInclude]. XInclude specifies a processing model and syntax for general purpose inclusion of information that is either on the Internet or local to the user's computer. In the v3 format, XInclude is expressed as the <xi:include> element. To use this element, you need to include the "xi" namespace in the <rfc> element; that is, you need to specify xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 72] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 as one of the attributes in the <rfc> element. The most common way to use <xi:include> is to pull in references that are already formed as XML. Currently, this is done from xml.resource.org, but later is expected to be from the RFC Editor. For example, if a document has three normative references, all RFCs, the document might contain: <references> <xi:include href="http://xml.resource.org/public/rfc/ bibxml/reference.RFC.2119.xml"/> <xi:include href="http://xml.resource.org/public/rfc/ bibxml/reference.RFC.4869.xml"/> <xi:include href="http://xml.resource.org/public/rfc/ bibxml/reference.RFC.7169.xml"/> </references> <xi:include> can be used anywhere an XML element could be used (but not where free text is used). For example, if three Internet Drafts are all including a particular paragraph or section verbatim, that text can be kept either in a file or somewhere on the web, and be included with <xi:include>. An example of pulling something from the local disk would be: <x:include href="file://home/chris/ietf/drafts/commontext.xml"/> [[anchor20: Need to think a bit more about using xi:include to replace src= for artwork or sourcecode.]] Appendix C. Format and Content of RFCs (Future) [[[ This section describes the format of RFCs in the future. The section is in this document only temporarily: it soon move to its own page on the RFC Editor's web site. ]]] The v3 format will be used as part of the new RFC series format described in [RFC6949]. RFCs will have multiple representations: the canonical document will be in XML using the v3 format, and many non- canonical representations (such as HTML and text) will be generated as well. C.1. Canonical RFCs The canonical RFCs will not have any markup that uses a deprecated feature. The processor described in Appendix B will have a "convert with warnings" mode that will convert a v2 document to a v3 document that converts deprecated features wherever possible, issuing warnings for where it cannot convert. The processor will also have a "strict" Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 73] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 mode that will issue errors if any deprecated features are in the input. The canonical format for RFCs have a number of restrictions that the RFC Processor needs to enforce before a document can be published in its final form. In this "final" mode, the processor will give a hard error when an input XML file has: o any element or attribute listed as "deprecated" in the v3 vocabulary o XML comments o XML Processor Instructions (PIs) o an external DTD o ENTITYs that have a SYSTEM component o <artwork> elements with a "src" attribute that points to a URI with a scheme other than "data:" o <cref> elements The RFC Processor will have a mode that gives hard errors on all of the above other than <cref> elements. This exception is to allow the RPC to insert <cref> elements in the working XML for notes to authors in AUTH 48, notes to IANA, and so on. The RFC Processor will also generate values for the "autogeneratedBoilerplateText" and "autogeneratedISSN" attributes in <rfc>, and "autogeneratedSectionNumber", "autogeneratedFigureNumber", and "autogeneratedTableNumber" attributes in <section>, <figure>, and <texttable> entities, respectively. These will be filled in by the RFC processor so that the canonical XML file has all of the same information as the non-canonical representations. C.2. Non-canonical RFC Representations As described in [RFC6949], the RFC Editor will publish non-canonical representations of RFCs. Those non-canonical representations will be derived from the canonical XML. The generation of these non- canonical representations means that there will be much more emphasis put on the RFC Processor. [[[ Stuff will go on the web page about each non-canonical representation. ]]] Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 74] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 Appendix D. Format and Content of Internet Drafts (Future) [[[ This section describes a future where the v3 format will be allowed as the input for Internet Draft publication. The section is in this document only temporarily: it soon move to its own page managed by someone yet to be determined. ]]] [[[ Description of the transition from the current text format to also allowing v3 XML. ]]] [[[ Description of what will and won't be allowed in input XML. ]]] D.1. The Draft Processor The Draft Processor will handle input differently than the RFC Processor. For example, some XML that is valid for Internet Drafts will not be valid for canonical RFCs, so the Draft Processor can be set to give warnings for those features but the RFC Processor can be set to give hard errors. The Draft Processor will help in the transition from the v2 format to the v3 format. A user could request that the Draft Processor convert a v2 document to v3, using the new features of v3 where appropriate, and removing the parts that are no longer supported. The processor might be able to fully convert a v2 document to v3, or it might have to only give advice on some of the v2 features that could not be automatically converted. The Draft Processor should have a mode that mimics the RFC Processor's restictive mode, but that instead gives warnings instead of hard errors. The Draft Processor should also produce interim versions of the non-canonical representations so that authors can see how their XML might later be rendered; and to convert documents that use the v2 format to v3. D.2. Processor Instructions In the v2 format, XML PIs were used for a wide variety of tasks, including changing some formatting of the text outputs, adding information to HTML versions of Internet Drafts, and specifying other instructions to processors. In the v3 format, a much smaller set of PIs is supported for the Draft Processor and Private Processors. It is important to note that canonical RFCs will not contain any PIs. The following PIs will be supported by the Draft Processor: o editing -- When set ot "yes", causes the processor to insert reference numbers throughout the output files to allow ease of Hoffman Expires November 8, 2014 [Page 75] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 May 2014 referral to particular paragraphs or artwork in the text. The default is "no". The following PIs will not be supported by the Draft Processor, but are included so that Private Processors have a common way of referring to them: o comments -- When set to "yes", causes all <cref> elements to be rendered in the output files. The default is "yes". o linefile -- Causes the processor to emit more detailed information about which line of which input file caused an error or warning. Note that a Private Processor can have PIs not from this list. Appendix E.
