This document provides a detailed description of the Handle System
namespace, its data and service model, as well as its operation
model. The namespace definition specifies the handle syntax and its
semantic structure. The data model defines the data structures used
by the handle system protocol and any pre-defined data types for
carrying out the handle service. The service model provides
definitions of various Handle System components and explains how
they work together over the network. Finally, the handle system
operation model describes its service operation in terms of
messages transmitted between client and server, as well as the
client authentication process based on the handle system
authentication protocol.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
