Thanks Harald, and also to the others who responded. It appears I
was mistaken in saying that I had never seen the statement beginning:
"This document and the information contained herein...",
since the same text appears in some of my own documents. However,
I don't recall ever seeing it prefaced with a section heading such as:
"Disclaimer of Validity".
([RFC 3667], section 5.5) just says that the statement is: "(Normally
placed at the end of the IETF Document after the copyright notice.)",
i.e., it doesn't say anything about adding a "Disclaimer of Validity"
section heading.
I'm still a bit puzzled by what "Disclaimer of Validity" could mean,
.e.g., could it mean that everything that appears in the document
before it is "invalid"? Would appreciate clarification on this.
Thanks - Fred

I have never seen such a statement appearing in an I-D before.
Is this a standard statement for such procedural documents?
And, is the intention that it be removed (by the RFC editor,
I guess) before publishing as BCP?
Inserted by xml2rfc. See RFC 3667 section 5.5 - this notice should
appear in all IETF documents.
