This document provides an overview of the Handle System in terms of
its namespace and service architecture, as well as its relationship
to other Internet services such as DNS, LDAP/X.500, and URN. The
Handle System is a general-purpose global name service that allows
secured name resolution and administration over the public
Internet. The Handle System manages handles, which are unique names
for digital objects and other Internet resources.

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.
