This memo presents the following rules, which to some extend can be
regarded as the golden rules of IETF, even though there are exceptions
when these rules should not be adhered to.
- Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send
- Do not munge forwarded data
- Modify as late as possible
- Cause no harm
- Leave nothing undefined
- Keep it simple, stupid
- No voting, rough consensus
- Plain ASCII text is enough

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-palme-golden-rules-00.txt".
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.
