Hi, http://www.ietf.org/ietf-ftp/1id-guidelines.txt in the 7 December 2010 version says There are differences between the RFC and I-D format. I-Ds are NOT RFCs, and I-Ds are NOT a numbered document series. The label "INTERNET-DRAFT" should appear in the upper left hand corner of the first page. If the I-D is associated with an IETF working group, the name of the working group should appear on the line below the "INTERNET-DRAFT" label. The document should NOT refer to itself as an RFC or a draft RFC. The Working Group name appears in the upper left hand corner of the first page ABOVE and before the "Internet-Draft" label. (I checked this because some assume when a WG name appears in that spot then a Working Group has chosen to publish the document, while others assume I-D authors can put any Working Group name they find suitable there, making it hard for outsiders to tell individual submissions and documents that have gained some level of Working Group consensus apart). regards, -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@xxxxxxxxxxxx · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
