Without this sentence, the boilerplate implies that all of the listed
keywords are present in the document.  Since the boilerplate cannot be
changed, the sentence was included to avoid the erroneous implication.

The footer (on every page) contains the expiry date.

The guidelines say:

   The Internet-Draft should neither state nor imply that it has any
   standards status; to do so conflicts with the role of the RFC Editor
   and the IESG.  The title of the document should not imply a status.
   Avoid the use of the terms Standard, Proposed, Draft, Experimental,
   Historic, Required, Recommended, Elective, or Restricted in the title
   of the Internet-Draft.  Indicating what status the document is aimed
   for is OK, but should be done with the words "Intended status:
   <status>".

Since the I-D neither states nor implies that it has any standards status,
I believe it complies.

Keith.
