A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Repurposing the STD Designation
Author(s) : J. Klensin
Filename : draft-klensin-newtrk-std-repurposing-00.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2004-6-7
Over the years, it has been repeatedly observed that the STD nnnn and
BCP nnnn designation for IETF Standards has not worked well, either
as a stable reference for external specifications or as a combined
reference for multiple documents that are linked together into a
single specification. This document proposes two changes that have
been discussed on and off for some time, but never written up or
considered as specific proposals. The first of these would assign a
STD (or BCP) number to a specification when it enters the first level
of the Standards Track (or is first designated as a BCP). The second
would turn STDs and BCPs into actual documents that describe what
they identify and their publication and change history.

In the body type:

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.
