This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 7841.
Current version: RFC 7841 — RFC Streams, Headers, and Boilerplates
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
RFC documents contain a number of fixed elements such as the title page header, standard boilerplates, and copyright/IPR statements. This document describes them and introduces some updates to reflect current usage and requirements of RFC publication. In particular, this updated structure is intended to communicate clearly the source of RFC creation and review. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
