Network Working Group P. Hoffman Internet-Draft VPN Consortium Obsoletes: 2629 (if approved) December 2, 2014 Intended status: Informational Expires: June 5, 2015 The 'XML2RFC' version 3 Vocabulary draft-hoffman-xml2rfc-13 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 ([RFC7322]) and Internet-Drafts ([IDGUIDE]). This document obsoletes the version 2 vocabulary ("v2") [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. 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 be used when generating of the final text; however, they can provide useful data for other uses (such as index generation, populating a keyword database, or syntax checks). In this document, the term "format" is used when describing types of documents, primarily XML and HTML. The term "representation" is used when talking about a specific instatiation of a format, such as an XML document or an HTML document that was created by an XML document. The following two sections are a hopefully-complete list of all the technical changes between [XML2RFCv2] and this document, as well as the design criteria for those changes. 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 June 5, 2015 [Page 5] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 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]. 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>. These lists are children of <section>s and other lists instead of <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 <table>, <thead>, <tbody>, <tfoot>, <tr>, <td>, and <th> to give table functionality like that in HTML. o Add <boilerplate> to hold the automatically-generated boilerplate text. o Add <blockquote> to indicate a quotation as in a paragraph-like format. o Add <name> to sections, notes, 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. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 6] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 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. o Add <referencegroup> to allow referemcing multi-RFC documents such as STDs and BCPs. o Add <link> to point to a resource related to the RFC. o Add <br> to allow line breaks (but not blank lines) in the generated output for table cells. 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. Also add "finalizedTime" to indicate the time that the XML is published. o Add "ascii" attributes to <email>, <organization>, <street>, <city>, <region> and <code>. Also add "asciiFullname", "asciiInitials", and "asciiSurname" to <author>. 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>, <author>, and <organization>. 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 the "removeInRFC" attribute to <note>. o Add "pn" to <artwork>, <aside>, <blockquote>, <dt>, <figure>, <li>, <section> <sourcecode>, <t>, and <table> to hold automatically generated numbers for items in a section that don't have their own numbering (namely figures and tables). o Add "display" to <cref> to indicate to processors whether or not to display the comment. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 7] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 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. Instead of being listed in Section 2, they are listed in in Section 3. 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. o Deprecate <texttable>, <ttcol>, and <c>; replace them with the new table elements (<table> and the elements that can be contained within it). 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 (Uniform Resource Identifier) for a reference, use the "target" attribute on <reference> instead. o Deprecate <preamble> and <postamble> in favor of simply using <t> before or after the figure. This also deprecates the "align" attribute in <figure>. o Deprecate the "title" attribute in <section>, <note>, <figure>, and <texttable> in favor of the new <name>. o Deprecate the "alt", and "src" 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 in both <artwork> and <figure> because they are not needed for the new output formats. 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 Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 8] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 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> and <sourcecode> to be used on their own in <section> (no longer confine them to a figure). o Give more specifics of handling the "type" attribute in <artwork>. 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. 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 <references>, now require <name> to give the section name. o In <section>, restricted the names of the anchors that can be used on some types of sections. o <t> now only contains non-block elements, so it no longer contains <figure> elements. 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 C (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 Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 9] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 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]), additionally constrained to US-ASCII characters ([USASCII]). Thus, the character repertoire consists of "A-Z", "a-z", "0-9", "_", "-", ".", and ":", where "0-9", ".", and "-" are disallowed as start character. Anchors are described in more detail in Appendix B.2. Except inside <artwork> and <sourcecode>, horizontal whitespace and linebreaks are collapsed into a single whitespace, and leading and trailing whitespace are trimmed off. 2.1. <abstract> Contains the abstract of the document. See [RFC7322] for more information on restrictions for the abstract. This element appears as a child element of: <front> (Section 2.27). Content model: One or more <t> elements (Section 2.54) 2.1.1. 'pn' attribute The name for the abstract. See Appendix B.2.1 for a description of this. 2.2. <address> Provides address information for the author. This element appears as a child element of: <author> (Section 2.7). Content model: In this order: 1. One optional <postal> element (Section 2.39) Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 10] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2. One optional <phone> element (Section 2.38) 3. One optional <facsimile> element (Section 3.2) 4. One optional <email> element (Section 2.24) 5. One optional <uri> element (Section 2.65) 2.3. <annotation> Provides additional prose augmenting a bibliographical reference. This element appears as a child element of: <reference> (Section 2.42). Content model: In any order: o Text o <b> elements (Section 2.8) o <bcp14> elements (Section 2.10) o <cref> elements (Section 2.17) o <em> elements (Section 2.23) o <eref> elements (Section 2.25) o <i> elements (Section 2.28) o <iref> elements (Section 2.29) o <spanx> elements (Section 3.7) o <strong> elements (Section 2.51) o <sub> elements (Section 2.52) o <sup> elements (Section 2.53) o <tt> elements (Section 2.63) o <xref> elements (Section 2.67) Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 11] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.3.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the annotation. 2.4. <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 full name 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". This element appears as a child element of: <front> (Section 2.27). Content model: only text content. 2.5. <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 in SVN, 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>. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 12] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 There are at least four ways to include SVG in artwork in Internet Drafts: o Inline, by including all of the SVG in the content of the element (such as "<artwork type="svg"><svg xmlns...">") o Inline, but using XInclude (see Appendix B.1 (such as "<artwork type="svg"><xi:include href=...") o As a data: URI (such as "<artwork type="svg" src="data:image/ svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3...">") o As a URI to an external entity (such as "<artwork type="svg" src="http://www.example.com/...">") These four methods can also be used for including text artwork, but using a data: URI is probably confusing for text artwork. This element appears as a child element of: <aside> (Section 2.6), <blockquote> (Section 2.11), <figure> (Section 2.26), <section> (Section 2.47), <td> (Section 2.57), and <th> (Section 2.59). Content model: Text 2.5.1. 'align' attribute Controls whether the artwork appears left justified (default), centered, or right justified. Allowed values: o "left" (default) o "center" o "right" 2.5.2. 'alt' attribute Alternative text description of the artwork (which is more than just a summary or caption). This is primarily used with artwork that is text-based. When the art comes from the "src" attribute, and the format of that artwork supports alternate text, the alternative text comes from the text of the artwork itself. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 13] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.5.3. 'anchor' attribute Document-wide unique identifier for this artwork. 2.5.4. 'height' attribute Deprecated. 2.5.5. '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). 2.5.6. 'pn' attribute The number for this artwork within the section. The numbering is shared with other elements of a section. This is described in more detail in Appendix B.2. 2.5.7. 'src' attribute The URI reference of a graphics file ([RFC3986]). Note that this can be a "data" URI ([RFC2397]). 2.5.8. '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 Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 14] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 o svg 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. 2.5.9. 'width' attribute Deprecated. 2.5.10. '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. 2.5.11. 'xml:space' attribute Deprecated. 2.6. <aside> This element is a container for content that is semantically less important or tangential to the content that surrounds it. This element appears as a child element of: <section> (Section 2.47). Content model: In any order: o <artwork> elements (Section 2.5) o <dl> elements (Section 2.21) o <figure> elements (Section 2.26) o <iref> elements (Section 2.29) o <list> elements (Section 3.4) o <ol> elements (Section 2.36) o <t> elements (Section 2.54) o <table> elements (Section 2.55) Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 15] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 o <ul> elements (Section 2.64) 2.6.1. 'anchor' attribute Document-wide unique identifier for this aside. 2.6.2. 'pn' attribute The number for this aside within the section. The numbering is shared with other elements of a section. This is described in more detail in Appendix B.2. 2.7. <author> Provides information about a document's author. This is used both for the document itself (at the beginning of the document) and for referenced documents. 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 [RFC7322]). 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". See Section "Authors vs. Contributors" of [RFCPOLICY] for more information. This element appears as a child element of: <front> (Section 2.27). Content model: In this order: 1. One optional <organization> element (Section 2.37) 2.

'asciiSurname' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the author's surname. 2.7.4. 'fullname' attribute The full name (used in the automatically generated "Author's Address" section). 2.7.5. 'initials' attribute Author initials (used on the front page and in references). The value contains one or more initials, each followed by a period. Initials should be provided as a whitespace separated list of pairs of a letter and a dot. 2.7.6. 'role' attribute Specifies the role the author had in creating the document. Allowed values: o "editor" 2.7.7. 'surname' attribute The author's surname (used on the front page and in references). 2.7.8. 'xml:lang' attribute Allows specification of the language used. This is sometimes useful for renderers which display different fonts for CJK characters. 2.8. <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. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 17] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 This element appears as a child element of: <annotation> (Section 2.3), <blockquote> (Section 2.11), <c> (Section 3.1), <cref> (Section 2.17), <dd> (Section 2.19), <dt> (Section 2.22), <em> (Section 2.23), <i> (Section 2.28), <li> (Section 2.31), <postamble> (Section 3.5), <preamble> (Section 3.6), <refcontent> (Section 2.41), <sub> (Section 2.52), <sup> (Section 2.53), <t> (Section 2.54), <td> (Section 2.57), <th> (Section 2.59), and <tt> (Section 2.63).

Optional <section> elements (Section 2.47) 2.10. <bcp14> Marks text that are phrases defined in BCP 14 such as "MUST", "SHOULD NOT", and so on. When shown in some of the output representations, the text in this element might be highlighted. The use of this element is optional. This element is only to be used around the actual phrase from BCP 14, not the full definition of a requirement. For example, it is correct to say "The packet <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be dropped.", but it not correct to say "<bcp14>The packet MUST be dropped.</bcp14>".

'anchor' attribute Document-wide unique identifier for this quotation. 2.11.2. 'cite' attribute The source of the citation. This must be a URI. If the quotedFrom attribute is given, this URI will be used by processors as the link for the text of that attribute. 2.11.3. 'pn' attribute The number for this blockquote within the section. The numbering is shared with other elements of a section. This is described in more detail in Appendix B.2. 2.11.4. 'quotedFrom' attribute Name of person or document the text in this element is quoted from. This will be rendered by the processor as visible text at the end of the quotation. 2.12. <boilerplate> Holds the boilerplate text for the document. This section is filled in by the RFC Processor. This element appears as a child element of: <front> (Section 2.27). Content model: One or more <section> elements (Section 2.47) Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 20] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.13. <br> Indicates that a line break should be inserted in the generated output by the processor. Multiple successive instances of this element does not cause blank lines to appear in the output, and is thus not useful. This element appears as a child element of: <td> (Section 2.57), and <th> (Section 2.59). Content model: this element does not have any contents. 2.14. <city> Gives the city name in a postal address. This element appears as a child element of: <postal> (Section 2.39). Content model: only text content. 2.14.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the city name. 2.15. <code> Gives the postal region code. This element appears as a child element of: <postal> (Section 2.39).

This element appears as a child element of: <postal> (Section 2.39). Content model: only text content. 2.17. <cref> Represents a comment. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 21] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 Comments can be used in a document while it is work-in-progress. They usually appear either inline and visually highlighted, at the end of the document (depending on file representation and settings of the processor), or not at all (when generating an RFC). This element appears as a child element of: <annotation> (Section 2.3), <b> (Section 2.8), <c> (Section 3.1), <dd> (Section 2.19), <dt> (Section 2.22), <em> (Section 2.23), <i> (Section 2.28), <li> (Section 2.31), <name> (Section 2.34), <postamble> (Section 3.5), <preamble> (Section 3.6), <strong> (Section 2.51), <sub> (Section 2.52), <sup> (Section 2.53), <t> (Section 2.54), <td> (Section 2.57), <th> (Section 2.59), <tt> (Section 2.63), and <ttcol> (Section 3.9).

'anchor' attribute Document-wide unique identifier for this comment. 2.17.2. 'display' attribute Says whether or not the the comment should be displayed by processors. This might be set to "false" if you want to keep a comment in a document after the contents of the comment have already been dealt with. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 22] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 Allowed values: o "true" (default) o "false" 2.17.3. 'source' attribute Holds the "source" of a comment, such as the name or the initials of the person who made the comment. 2.18. <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. In the boilerplate 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 one or more of "year", "month", or "day" are left out, the processor will attempt to use the current system date if the attributes that are present are consistent with that 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 case of bibliographic references, 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 element appears as a child element of: <front> (Section 2.27). Content model: this element does not have any contents. 2.18.1. 'day' attribute In the "boilerplate" case: the day of publication; this is a number. Otherwise: an indication of the publication day, with the format not being restricted. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 23] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.18.2. 'month' attribute In the "boilerplate" case: the month of publication; this is the English name of the month. Otherwise: an indication of the publication month, with the format not being restricted. 2.18.3. 'year' attribute In the "boilerplate" case: the year of publication; this is a number (usually four-digit). Otherwise: an indication of the publication year, with the format not being restricted. 2.19. <dd> The definition part of an entry in a definition list. This element appears as a child element of: <dl> (Section 2.21). Content model: Either: One or more <t> elements (Section 2.54) Or: In any order, but at least one of: * Text * <b> elements (Section 2.8) * <bcp14> elements (Section 2.10) * <cref> elements (Section 2.17) * <em> elements (Section 2.23) * <eref> elements (Section 2.25) * <i> elements (Section 2.28) * <iref> elements (Section 2.29) * <strong> elements (Section 2.51) * <sub> elements (Section 2.52) Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 24] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 * <sup> elements (Section 2.53) * <tt> elements (Section 2.63) * <xref> elements (Section 2.67) 2.20. <displayreference> This element gives a mapping between the anchor of a reference and a name that will be displayed instead. 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"/> If a reference section is sorted, this element changes the sort order. This element appears as a child element of: <back> (Section 2.9). Content model: this element does not have any contents. 2.20.1. 'target' attribute (mandatory) This attribute must be the name of an anchor in a <reference> element. 2.20.2. 'to' attribute (mandatory) This attribute is a name that will be displayed as the anchor instead of the anchor that is given in the <reference> element. The string given must start with one of the following characters: 0-9, a-z, A-Z. The other characters in the string must be 0-9, a-z, A-Z, "-", ".", and "_". 2.21. <dl> A definition list. Each entry has a pair of elements: a term (<dt>) and a definition (<dd>). (This is slightly different than the model used in HTML, whicl allows for multiple terms for a single definition.) This element appears as a child element of: <aside> (Section 2.6), <section> (Section 2.47), <td> (Section 2.57), and <th> (Section 2.59). Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 25] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 Content model: One or more sequences of: 1. One <dt> element 2. One <dd> element 2.21.1. 'hanging' attribute The hanging attribute defines whether or not the term appears on the same line as the definition. hanging="true" indicates that the term is to the left of the definition, while hanging="false" indicates that the term will be on a separate line. Allowed values: o "false" o "true" (default) 2.21.2. '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" 2.22. <dt> The term being defined in a definition list. This element appears as a child element of: <dl> (Section 2.21).

The value is expected to be the scheme-specific part of a "mailto" URI (so does not include the prefix "mailto:"). See Section 2 of [RFC6068] for details. This element appears as a child element of: <address> (Section 2.2). Content model: only text content. 2.24.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the author's email address. This is only used if the email address has one or two internationalized components. 2.25. <eref> Represents an "external" link (as specified in the "target" attribute). This can be used for creating linked references, such as in HTML output. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 28] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 If the element has text content, that content will be used.

Index entries can be either be regular entries (when just the "item" attribute is given) or nested entries (by specifying "subitem" as well), grouped under a regular entry. Index entries generally refer to the exact place where the <iref> element occured. An exception is the occurence as a child element of <section>, in which case the whole section is considered to be relevant for that index entry. In some formats, index entries of this type might be displayed as range. This element appears as a child element of: <annotation> (Section 2.3), <aside> (Section 2.6), <b> (Section 2.8), <c> (Section 3.1), <dd> (Section 2.19), <dt> (Section 2.22), <em> (Section 2.23), <figure> (Section 2.26), <i> (Section 2.28), <li> Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 32] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 (Section 2.31), <postamble> (Section 3.5), <preamble> (Section 3.6), <section> (Section 2.47), <strong> (Section 2.51), <sub> (Section 2.52), <sup> (Section 2.53), <t> (Section 2.54), <table> (Section 2.55), <td> (Section 2.57), <th> (Section 2.59), <tt> (Section 2.63), and <ttcol> (Section 3.9). Content model: this element does not have any contents. 2.29.1. 'item' attribute (mandatory) The item to include. 2.29.2. 'primary' attribute Setting this to "true" declares the occurrence as "primary", which might cause it to be highlighted in the index. Allowed values: o "true" o "false" (default) 2.29.3. 'subitem' attribute The subitem to include. 2.30. <keyword> Specifies a keyword applicable to the document. Note that each element should only contain a single keyword; for multiple keywords, the element can simply be repeated. Keywords are used both in the RFC Index and in the metadata of generated document representations. This element appears as a child element of: <front> (Section 2.27). Content model: only text content. 2.31. <li> A list element, used in <ol> and <ul>. This element appears as a child element of: <ol> (Section 2.36), and <ul> (Section 2.64). Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 33] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 Content model: Either: One or more <t> elements (Section 2.54) Or: In any order, but at least one of: * Text * <b> elements (Section 2.8) * <bcp14> elements (Section 2.10) * <cref> elements (Section 2.17) * <em> elements (Section 2.23) * <eref> elements (Section 2.25) * <i> elements (Section 2.28) * <iref> elements (Section 2.29) * <strong> elements (Section 2.51) * <sub> elements (Section 2.52) * <sup> elements (Section 2.53) * <tt> elements (Section 2.63) * <xref> elements (Section 2.67) 2.31.1. 'anchor' attribute Document-wide unique identifier for this list item. 2.31.2. 'pn' attribute The number for this list item within the section. The numbering is shared with other elements of a section. This is described in more detail in Appendix B.2. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 34] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.32. <link> A link to an external document that is related to the RFC. The following are the supported types of external documents that can be pointed to in a <link> element: o The current ISSN for the RFC Series. The value for the "rel" attribute is "isPartOf". The link should use the form "urn:issn:". o The DOI for this document. The value for the "rel" attribute is "describedBy". The link should use the form specified in [DOI]. o The Internet Draft that was submitted to the RFC Editor to become the published RFC. The value for the "rel" attribute is "convertedFrom". The link should be to an IETF-controlled web site that retains copies of Internet Drafts. o A representation of the document offered by the document author. The value for the "rel" attribute is "alternate". The link can be to a personally-run web site. The RFC Processor needs to check the values for <link> before an RFC is published. The Draft Processor might remove some <link> elements during the draft submission process. This element appears as a child element of: <rfc> (Section 2.46). Content model: this element does not have any contents. 2.32.1. 'href' attribute (mandatory) The URI of the external document. 2.32.2. 'rel' attribute The relationship of the external document to this one. The relationships are taken from Link Relations registry maintained by IANA [LINKRELATIONS]. 2.33. <middle> Represents the main content of the document. This element appears as a child element of: <rfc> (Section 2.46). Content model: Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 35] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 One or more <section> elements (Section 2.47) 2.34. <name> The name of the section, note, figure, or texttable. This name can have flow markup such as to make some characters use a fixed-width font, or to include references. This element appears as a child element of: <figure> (Section 2.26), <note> (Section 2.35), <references> (Section 2.44), <section> (Section 2.47), <table> (Section 2.55), and <texttable> (Section 3.8). Content model: In any order: o Text o <cref> elements (Section 2.17) o <eref> elements (Section 2.25) o <tt> elements (Section 2.63) o <xref> elements (Section 2.67) 2.34.1. 'slugifiedName' attribute This attribute is filled in by a processor with a "slugified" version of the text in the element. This attribute can be used in the output formats for elements that have both names and numbers. 2.35. <note> Creates an unnumbered section that appears after the abstract. It is usually used for additional information to reviewers (working group information, mailing list, ...), or for additional publication information such as "IESG Notes". This element appears as a child element of: <front> (Section 2.27). Content model: In this order: Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 36] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 1. One <name> element (Section 2.34) 2. One or more <t> elements (Section 2.54) 2.35.1. 'pn' attribute The name for this note. See Appendix B.2.1 for a description of this. 2.35.2. 'removeInRFC' attribute If set to "yes", the processor adds a paragraph of text at the beginning of this section indicating that it should be removed before the document is published as an RFC. Allowed values: o "yes" o "no" (default) 2.35.3. 'title' attribute Deprecated. Use <name> instead. 2.36. <ol> An ordered list. The labels on the items will be either a number or a letter, depending on the value of the style attribute. This element appears as a child element of: <aside> (Section 2.6), <section> (Section 2.47), <t> (Section 2.54), <td> (Section 2.57), and <th> (Section 2.59). Content model: One or more <li> elements (Section 2.31) 2.36.1. 'group' attribute When a processor sees an <ol> element with a "group" attribute that has already been seen, the processor continues the numbering of the list from where the previous list with the same group name left off. If an <ol> element has both a "group" and "start" attribute, the group's numbering is reset to the given start value. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 37] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.36.2. '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" 2.36.3. 'start' attribute The ordinal value to start the list at. This defaults to "1", and must be an integer of 0 or greater. 2.36.4. 'style' attribute The style of the labels on list items. If the length of the style value is 1, the meaning is the same as it is for HTML: a Lowercase letters (a, b, c, ...) A Uppercase letters (A, B, C, ...) 1 Decimal numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) i Lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, ...) I Uppercase Roman numerals (I, II, III, ...) For style "a" and "A", after the 26th entry, the numbering starts at "aa"/"AA", then "ab"/"AB", and so on. If the length of the style value is greater than 1, the value must contain a percent-encoded indicator and other text. The value is a free-form text that allows counter values to be inserted using a "percent-letter" format. For instance, "[REQ%d]" generates labels of the form "[REQ1]", where "%d" inserts the item number as decimal number. The following formats are supported: %c Lowercase letters (a, b, c, ...) Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 38] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 %C Uppercase letters (A, B, C, ...) %d Decimal numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) %i Lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, ...) %I Uppercase Roman numerals (I, II, III, ...) %% Represents a percent sign Other formats are reserved for future use. It is an error for the style string to be empty, and processors will reject documents with an element that has such a style. For bulleted lists, you use the <ul> element. For lists that have neither bullets nor numbers, use the <ul> element with the 'empty="true"' attribute. If no "style" attribute is given, the default style is the same as "style='%d.'". 2.37. <organization> Specifies the affiliation of an author. This information appears in both the "Author's Address" section and on the front page (see [RFC7322] for more information). If the value is long, an abbreviated variant can be specified in the "abbrev" attribute. This element appears as a child element of: <author> (Section 2.7). Content model: only text content. 2.37.1. 'abbrev' attribute Abbreviated variant. 2.37.2. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the organization's name. 2.37.3. '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. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 39] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.38. <phone> Represents a phone number. 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" syntax. See Section 3 of [RFC3966] for details. This element appears as a 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 a child element of: <address> (Section 2.2). Content model: Either: In any order: * <city> elements (Section 2.14) * <code> elements (Section 2.15) * <country> elements (Section 2.16) * <region> elements (Section 2.45) * <street> elements (Section 2.50) Or: 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. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 40] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 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 a child element of: <postal> (Section 2.39). Content model: only text content. 2.40.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the text in the address line. 2.41. <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> would render as: [April1] Phunny, K., "On Being A Fool", Self-published pamphlet, April 2000. This element appears as a child element of: <reference> (Section 2.42). Content model: In any order: o Text o <b> elements (Section 2.8) o <bcp14> elements (Section 2.10) Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 41] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 o <em> elements (Section 2.23) o <i> elements (Section 2.28) o <strong> elements (Section 2.51) o <sub> elements (Section 2.52) o <sup> elements (Section 2.53) o <tt> elements (Section 2.63) 2.41.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the added text. 2.42. <reference> Represents a bibliographical reference. This element appears as a child element of: <referencegroup> (Section 2.43), and <references> (Section 2.44). Content model: In this order: 1. One <front> element (Section 2.27) 2. In any order: * <annotation> elements (Section 2.3) * <format> elements (Section 3.3) * <refcontent> elements (Section 2.41) * <seriesInfo> elements (Section 2.48) 2.42.1. '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. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 42] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.42.2. '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). 2.43. <referencegroup> Represents a list of bibliographic references that will be represented as a single reference. This is most often used for references in the STD and BCP series, where a single reference (such as "BCP 9") encompasses more than one RFC. This element appears as a child element of: <references> (Section 2.44). Content model: One or more <reference> elements (Section 2.42) 2.43.1. 'anchor' attribute (mandatory) Document-wide unique identifier for this reference group. Usually, this will be used both to "label" the reference group in the references section, and as an identifier in links to this reference entry. 2.44. <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 [RFC7322]). This vocabulary supports the split with the <name> child element. In general, the title should be either "Normative References" or "Informative References". By default, the order of references is significant. Processors, however, can be instructed to sort them based on their anchor names. This element appears as a child element of: <back> (Section 2.9). Content model: In this order: Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 43] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 1. One <name> element (Section 2.34) 2. In any order: * <reference> elements (Section 2.42) * <referencegroup> elements (Section 2.43) 2.44.1. 'anchor' attribute (mandatory) The number for this section. This attribute and its value are automatically generated by the RFC Processor, and are ignored by other processors. 2.45. <region> Provides the region name in a postal address. This element appears as a child element of: <postal> (Section 2.39). Content model: only text content. 2.45.1. 'ascii' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the region name. 2.46. <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. Optional <link> elements (Section 2.32) 2. One <front> element (Section 2.27) 3. One <middle> element (Section 2.33) 4. One optional <back> element (Section 2.9) Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 44] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.46.1. 'category' attribute Document category (see Appendix A.1). Allowed values: o "std" o "bcp" o "info" o "exp" o "historic" 2.46.2. 'consensus' attribute Affects the generated boilerplate. See [RFC5741] for more information. Allowed values: o "no" o "yes" 2.46.3. 'docName' attribute Specifies the name or the Internet Draft or private document. A private document is one whose representation is not meant to be an Internet Draft or RFC. If the value for this attribute starts with the string "draft-", a processor treats the input as an Internet Draft; if the value starts with any other string, a processor treats this as a private document. The name in the value should be the document name without any file extension. That is, the value for this attribute should be "draft-ietf-somewg-someprotocol-07", not "draft-ietf-somewg-someprotocol-07.txt". A processor should give an error if both the "docName" and "number" attributes are given in the <rfc> element. 2.46.4. 'finalizedTime' attribute The date that the XML was finalized by the RFC Editor when publising an RFC. This is included in the XML file just before publication, and is stripped by processors from all other XML files. The value is Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 45] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 formatted using the format from [RFC3339]. 2.46.5. 'ipr' attribute Represents the Intellectual Property status of the document. See Appendix A.2 for details. Allowed values: o "full2026" o "noDerivativeWorks2026" o "none" 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" 2.46.6. 'iprExtract' attribute Identifies a single section within the document for which extraction "as-is" is explicitly allowed (only relevant for historic values of the "ipr" attribute). Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 46] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.46.7. 'number' attribute The number of the RFC to be produced by a processor. A processor should give an error if both the "docName" and "number" attributes are given in the <rfc> element. 2.46.8. '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. 2.46.9. 'seriesNo' attribute When producing a document within document series (such as "STD"): the number within that series. 2.46.10. 'sortRefs' attribute Specifies whether or not a processor will sort the references in each reference section. Allowed values: o "yes" o "no" (default) 2.46.11. '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 June 5, 2015 [Page 47] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.46.12. '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" 2.46.13. 'tocDepth' attribute Specifies number of levels of heading for a processor to include in the table of contents; the default is "3". 2.46.14. 'tocInclude' attribute Specifies whether or not a processor will include a table of contents in generated files. Allowed values: o "yes" (default) o "no" 2.46.15. '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. 2.46.16. 'xml:lang' attribute The natural language used in the document (defaults to "en"). See Section 2.12 of [XML] for more information. 2.47. <section> Represents a section (when inside a <middle> element) or an appendix (when inside a <back> element). Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 48] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 Sub-sections are created by nesting <section> elements inside <section> elements. Sections are allowed to be empty. This element appears as a child element of: <back> (Section 2.9), <boilerplate> (Section 2.12), <middle> (Section 2.33), and <section> (Section 2.47). Content model: In this order: 1. One optional <name> element (Section 2.34) 2. In any order: * <artwork> elements (Section 2.5) * <aside> elements (Section 2.6) * <blockquote> elements (Section 2.11) * <dl> elements (Section 2.21) * <figure> elements (Section 2.26) * <iref> elements (Section 2.29) * <ol> elements (Section 2.36) * <sourcecode> elements (Section 2.49) * <t> elements (Section 2.54) * <table> elements (Section 2.55) * <texttable> elements (Section 3.8) * <ul> elements (Section 2.64) 3. Optional <section> elements (Section 2.47) 2.47.1. 'anchor' attribute Document-wide unique identifier for this section. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 49] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.47.2. '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 top-level section. Allowed values: o "yes" (default) o "no" 2.47.3. 'pn' 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. 2.47.4. 'removeInRFC' attribute If set to "yes", the processor adds a paragraph of text at the beginning of this section indicating that it should be removed before the document is published as an RFC. Allowed values: o "yes" o "no" (default) 2.47.5. 'title' attribute Deprecated. Use <name> instead. Processors will flag sections that have no <name> element as errors because all sections need a name. 2.47.6. '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. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 50] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 Allowed values: o "include" o "exclude" o "default" (default) 2.48. <seriesInfo> Specifies the document series in which this document appears, and also specifies an identifier within that series. This element appears as a child element of: <reference> (Section 2.42). Content model: this element does not have any contents. 2.48.1. 'asciiname' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the name field. 2.48.2. 'asciivalue' attribute The ASCII equivalent of the value field. 2.48.3. '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", "STD", and "DOI". 2.48.4. '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). For DOIs, the value is given such as "10.123456/rfc1149", (the actual value will be specified later in [DOI]). 2.49. <sourcecode> This element allows the inclusion of sourcecode into the document. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 51] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 <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). When rendered, sourcecode is always shown in a monospace font. 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 "&" 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 a child element of: <blockquote> (Section 2.11), <figure> (Section 2.26), <section> (Section 2.47), <td> (Section 2.57), and <th> (Section 2.59). Content model: only text content. 2.49.1. 'anchor' attribute Document-wide unique identifier for this sourcecode. 2.49.2. '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 Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 52] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 automated syntax checkers which work by extracting the source code). 2.49.3. 'pn' attribute The number for this sourceode within the section. The numbering is shared with other elements of a section. This is described in more detail in Appendix B.2. 2.49.4. 'src' attribute The URI reference of a source file ([RFC3986]). 2.49.5. '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: 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 Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 53] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 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. 2.50. <street> Provides a street address. This element appears as a child element of: <postal> (Section 2.39). Content model: only text content. 2.50.1.

This element can be combined with other character formatting elements, and the formatting will be additive. This element appears as a child element of: <annotation> (Section 2.3), <b> (Section 2.8), <blockquote> (Section 2.11), <c> (Section 3.1), <cref> (Section 2.17), <dd> (Section 2.19), <dt> (Section 2.22), <em> (Section 2.23), <i> (Section 2.28), <li> (Section 2.31), <name> (Section 2.34), <postamble> (Section 3.5), <preamble> (Section 3.6), <refcontent> (Section 2.41), <strong> (Section 2.51), <sub> (Section 2.52), <sup> (Section 2.53), <t> (Section 2.54), <td> (Section 2.57), and <th> (Section 2.59).

Allowed values: o "normal" (default) o "compact" 2.65. <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 a child element of: <address> (Section 2.2). Content model: only text content. 2.66. <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 2.46.11). This element appears as a child element of: <front> (Section 2.27). Content model: only text content. 2.67. <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. If the element is empty, a converter must invent text to show for the Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 66] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 reference. If the element is filled in and the format being converted to supports links, the text from the element is surrounded by a link to the reference. 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 a child element of: <annotation> (Section 2.3), <b> (Section 2.8), <c> (Section 3.1), <cref> (Section 2.17), <dd> (Section 2.19), <dt> (Section 2.22), <em> (Section 2.23), <i> (Section 2.28), <li> (Section 2.31), <name> (Section 2.34), <postamble> (Section 3.5), <preamble> (Section 3.6), <strong> (Section 2.51), <sub> (Section 2.52), <sup> (Section 2.53), <t> (Section 2.54), <td> (Section 2.57), <th> (Section 2.59), <tt> (Section 2.63), and <ttcol> (Section 3.9). Content model: only text content. 2.67.1. '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: Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 67] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 <section anchor="overview">Protocol Overview</section> . . . See <xref target="overview"/> for an overview. might generate See Section 1.7 for an overview. "none" There will be no auto-generated text. This is useful for creating a link that will appear in the processed text. "title" Inserts a title for the referenced element (usually obtained from the referenced element's <name> child element. If the target is a reference, then the <title> element inside the <front> element is used. Allowed values: o "counter" o "title" o "none" o "default" (default) 2.67.2. 'pageno' attribute Deprecated. Allowed values: o "true" o "false" (default) 2.67.3. 'relative' attribute Specifies a relative reference from the main target. Rendering relative references is based on the format for the converted document. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 68] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 2.67.4. 'section' attribute Specifies a section for the generated reference. For example, See <xref section="2.3" target="RFC6949"/> for more information. would generate See Section 2.3 of [RFC6949] for more information. 2.67.5. '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 information. See <xref target="RFC6949" section="2.4" sectionFormat="comma"/> for more information. See <xref target="RFC6949" section="2.5" sectionFormat="parens"/> for more information. 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. 2.67.6. '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. Elements from v2 That Have Been Deprecated This section lists the elements from v2 that have been deprecated. Note that some elements in v3 have attributes from v2 that are deprecated; those are not listed here. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 69] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 3.1. <c> Deprecated. Instead, use <tr>, <td>, and <th>.

Content model: In any order: o Text o <b> elements (Section 2.8) o <bcp14> elements (Section 2.10) o <cref> elements (Section 2.17) o <em> elements (Section 2.23) o <eref> elements (Section 2.25) o <i> elements (Section 2.28) o <iref> elements (Section 2.29) o <spanx> elements (Section 3.7) o <strong> elements (Section 2.51) o <sub> elements (Section 2.52) o <sup> elements (Section 2.53) o <tt> elements (Section 2.63) o <xref> elements (Section 2.67) 3.6. <preamble> Deprecated. Instead, use a regular paragraph before the figure or table. This element appears as a child element of: <figure> (Section 2.26), and <texttable> (Section 3.8). Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 72] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 Content model: In any order: o Text o <b> elements (Section 2.8) o <bcp14> elements (Section 2.10) o <cref> elements (Section 2.17) o <em> elements (Section 2.23) o <eref> elements (Section 2.25) o <i> elements (Section 2.28) o <iref> elements (Section 2.29) o <spanx> elements (Section 3.7) o <strong> elements (Section 2.51) o <sub> elements (Section 2.52) o <sup> elements (Section 2.53) o <tt> elements (Section 2.63) o <xref> elements (Section 2.67) 3.7. <spanx> Deprecated.

'width' attribute Deprecated. 3.10. <vspace> Deprecated. In earlier versions of this format, <vspace> was often used to get an extra blank line in a list element; in the v3 vocabulary, that can be done instead by using multiple <t> elements inside the <li> element. Other uses have no direct replacement. This element appears as a child element of: <t> (Section 2.54). Content model: this element does not have any contents. 3.10.1. 'blankLines' attribute Deprecated. 4. 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 [NONASCII]. 5. Security Considerations The "name" attribute on the <artwork> element (Section 2.5.5) 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 probably 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. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 76] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 All security considerations related to XML processing are relevant as well (see Section 7 of [RFC3470]). 6. IANA Considerations 6.1. Internet Media Type Registration IANA maintains the registry of Internet media types [BCP13] at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types>. 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 Section 9.1 of [RFC7303]. Encoding considerations: Identical to those of "application/xml" as described in Section 9.1 of [RFC7303]. Security considerations: As defined in Section 5. In addition, as this media type uses the "+xml" convention, it inherits the security considerations described in Section 10 of [RFC7303]. Interoperability considerations: N/A Published specification: This specification. Applications that use this media type: Applications that 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 used as shorthand pointers, as described in Section 2.8 of [XPOINTER]. Additional information: Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 77] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 Deprecated alias names for this type: None. Magic number(s): As specified for "application/xml" in Section 9.1 of [RFC7303]. File extension(s): .xml or .rfcxml when disambiguation from other XML files is needed Macintosh file type code(s): TEXT Person & email address to contact for further information: See Authors Section. Intended usage: COMMON Restrictions on usage: N/A Author: See Authors Section. Change controller: RFC Series Editor (rse@rfc-editor.org) 6.2. Link Relation Registration The following is a proposed addition to [LINKRELATIONS]. Relation Name: convertedFrom Description: The document linked to was later converted to the document that contains this link relation. For example, an RFC can have a link to the Internet Draft that became the RFC; in that case, the link relation would be "convertedFrom". Reference: This document. Notes: This relation is different than "predecessor-version" in that "predecessor-version" is for items in a version control system. It is also different that "previous" in that this relation is used for converted resources, not those that are part of a sequence of resources. Application Data: none 7.

Front Page ('Boilerplate') Generation Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 81] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 A.1. The /rfc/@category Attribute For RFCs, the category attribute (Section 2.46.1) 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. A.2. The /rfc/@ipr Attribute This attribute value can take a long list of values, each of which describes an IPR policy for the document (Section 2.46.5). The values are not the result of a grand design, but remain simply for historic reasons. Of these values, only a few are currently in use; all others are supported by 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 (Section 2.46.11) 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", which went into effect on February 15, 2009 ([TLP2.0]). Updates to this document were published on September 12, 2009 ([TLP3.0]) and on December 28, 2009 ([TLP4.0]), modifying the license for code components (see <http://trustee.ietf.org/license-info/> for further information). The actual text is located in Section 6 ("Text To Be Included in IETF Documents") of these documents. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 82] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 Formatters will automatically produce the "correct" text depending on the document's date information (see above): +----------+--------------------------------+ | TLP | starting with publication date | +----------+--------------------------------+ | [TLP3.0] | 2009-11-01 | | [TLP4.0] | 2010-04-01 | +----------+--------------------------------+ A.2.1.1. trust200902 This value should be used unless one of the more specific '*trust200902' values is a better fit. It produces the text in Sections 6.a and 6.b of the TLP. A.2.1.2. noModificationTrust200902 This produces additional text from Section 6.c.i of the TLP: This document may not be modified, and derivative works of it may not be created, except to format it for publication as an RFC or to translate it into languages other than English. *Note:* this clause is incompatible with RFCs that are published on the Standards Track. A.2.1.3. noDerivativesTrust200902 This produces the additional text from Section 6.c.ii of the TLP: This document may not be modified, and derivative works of it may not be created, and it may not be published except as an Internet- Draft. *Note:* this clause is incompatible with RFCs. A.2.1.4. pre5378Trust200902 This produces the additional text from Section 6.c.iii of the TLP, frequently called the "pre-5378 escape clause": This document may contain material from IETF Documents or IETF Contributions published or made publicly available before November 10, 2008. The person(s) controlling the copyright in some of this material may not have granted the IETF Trust the right to allow modifications of such material outside the IETF Standards Process. Without obtaining an adequate license from the person(s) Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 83] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 controlling the copyright in such materials, this document may not be modified outside the IETF Standards Process, and derivative works of it may not be created outside the IETF Standards Process, except to format it for publication as an RFC or to translate it into languages other than English. See Section 4 of <http://trustee.ietf.org/docs/IETF-Copyright-FAQ.pdf> for further information about when to use this value. *Note:* this text appears under "Copyright Notice", unless the document was published before November 2009, in which case it appears under "Status Of This Memo". A.2.2. Historic Values A.2.2.1. Historic Values: '*trust200811' The attribute values "trust200811", "noModificationTrust200811" and "noDerivativesTrust200811" are similar to their "trust200902" counterparts, except that they use text specified in <http:// trustee.ietf.org/license-info/archive/ IETF-Trust-License-Policy_11-10-08.pdf>. A.2.2.2. Historic Values: '*3978' The attribute values "full3978", "noModification3978" and "noDerivatives3978" are similar to their counterparts above, except that they use text specified in Section 5 of [RFC3978]. A.2.2.3. Historic Values: '*3667' The attribute values "full3667", "noModification3667" and "noDerivatives3667" are similar to their counterparts above, except that they use text specified in Section 5 of [RFC3667]. A.2.2.4. Historic Values: '*2026' The attribute values "full2026" and "noDerivativeWorks2026" are similar to their counterparts above, except that they use text specified in Section 10 of [RFC2026]. The special value "none" was also used back then, and denied the IETF any rights beyond publication as Internet-Draft. Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 84] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 A.3. The /rfc/@submissionType Attribute The RFC Editor publishes documents from different "document streams", of which the "IETF stream" is the most prominent one. Other streams are the "independent stream" (used for things such as administrative information or April 1st RFCs), the "IAB stream" (Internet Architecture Board) and the "IRTF stream" (Internet Research Task Force). The values for the attribute are "IETF" (the default value), "independent", "IAB", and "IRTF". Historically, this attribute did not affect the final appearance of RFCs, except for subtle differences in Copyright notices. Nowadays (as of [RFC5741]), the stream name appears in the first line of the front page, and it also affects the text in the "Status Of This Memo" section. For current documents, setting submissionType attribute will have the following effect: o For RFCs, the stream name appears in the upper left corner of the first page (in Internet Drafts, this is either "Network Working Group", or the value of the <workgroup> element). o For RFCs, if affects the whole "Status Of This Memo" section (see Section 3.2.2 of [RFC5741]). o For all RFCs and Internet Drafts, it determines whether the "Copyright Notice" mentions the Copyright on Code Components (see TLP, Section "Text To Be Included in IETF Documents"). A.4. The /rfc/@consensus Attribute For some of the publication streams (see Appendix A.3), the "Status Of This Memo" section depends on whether there was a consensus to publish (again, see Section 3.2.2 of [RFC5741]). The consensus attribute ("yes"/"no", defaulting to "yes") can be used to supply this information. The effect for the various streams is: o "independent" and "IAB": none. o "IETF": mention that there was an IETF consensus. o "IRTF": mention that there was a research group consensus (where the name of the research group is extracted from the <workgroup> element). Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 85] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 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 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. This processor will be defined in a different document. 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; to possibly create documents that are not meant to be Internet Drafts or RFCs; 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 Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 86] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 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. It is expected that both the RFC Processor and the Draft Processor will have options to produce different types of output. For example, they might have a "convert XML to XML" option that expands the XML entities in the output. The restrictions on the canonical XML for RFCs, as well as how the non-canonical formats will look, are described at <https:// www.rfc-editor.org/rse/wiki/ doku.php?id=design:format-and-content-rfcs>. 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 syntax, 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" 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 can be done from xml2rfc.tools.ietf.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://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/ bibxml/reference.RFC.2119.xml"/> <xi:include href="http://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/ bibxml/reference.RFC.4869.xml"/> <xi:include href="http://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.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 Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 87] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 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"/> In general, XInclude should be used instead of ENTITY references and XML Processor Instructions (PIs) that allow external inclusions. B.2. Anchors and IDs People writing and reading Internet Drafts and RFCs often want to make reference to specific locations in those documents. In the case of RFC authors, it is common to want to reference another part of their document, such as "see Section 3.2 of this document". Readers, on the other hand, want to reference part of documents that they didn't write, such as "see Section 3.2 of RFC 6949". The XML vocabulary in this document attempts to support both sets of people. Authors can leave anchors in a document that can later be used for references with the "anchor" attribute. Anchors can be included in the following elements: <artwork>, <aside>, <blockquote>, <cref>, <figure>, <li>, <reference>, <referencegroup>, <section>, <sourcecode>, <t>, and <table>. The author can then refer to that anchor in the "target" attribute of the <xref> element. Readers can refer to any element that has an "anchor" attribute by that attribute. Note, however, that most of the time, elements won't have anchors. In the common case, the reader wants to refer to an element that does not have an "anchor" attribute, but that element has "pn" attribute. Processors add the "pn" attribute to many elements during processing. This attribute and its value are automatically generated by the processor if the attribute is not there; if the attribute is already there, the processor may replace the value. B.2.1. Overlapping Values In the HTML representation of this XML vocabulary, both anchors and "pn" attributes will be used in the "id" attributes of elements. Thus, there can be no overlap between the names entered in "anchor" attributes, in "slugifiedName" attributes, and those that are generated for the "pn" attributes. Also, there are some values for the "anchor" values that are reserved for sections, and those sections can only have those anchor values. The following rules prevent this overlap: Hoffman Expires June 5, 2015 [Page 88] Internet-Draft XML2RFCv3 December 2014 o "pn" for regular sections always has the format "s-nnn", where "nnn" is the section or appendix number. For example, this would be "s-2.1.3" for Section 2.1.3 and "s-a" for Appendix A. For the <abstract> element, it is always "s-abstract". For the <note> element, it is always "s-note-nnn", where "nnn" is a sequential value. o "pn" for <figure> elements always has the format "f-nnn", where "nnn" is the figure number. For example, this would be "f-5" for Figure 5. o "pn" for <table> elements always has the format "t-nnn", where "nnn" is the figure number. For example, this would be "t-5" for Table 5. o "pn" for all elements not listed above always has the format "p-nnn-mmm", where "nnn" is the section number and "mmm" is the relative position in the section. For example, this would be "p-2.1.3-7" for the seventh part number in Section 2.1.3. o "slugifiedName" always has the format "n-ttt", where "ttt" is the text of the name after slugification. For example, this would be "n-protocol-overview" for the name "Protocol Overview". The actual conversions done in slugification will be specified at a later time. o Anchors must never overlap with any of the above. The easiest way to assure that is to not pick an anchor name that starts with a single letter followed by a hyphen. If an anchor does overlap with one of the types of names above, the processor will reject the document. Appendix C.
