Re: RFC and I-D Citation Tool

2012-08-09 10:54:08
Hi,

one suggestion: I-Ds must be cited as "Work in Progress" only. From the 
boilerplate text:

   Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
   and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
   time.  It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I typically do it like this. Instead of:

Alia Atlas, Cisco Systems, Dave Ward, Juniper Networks, and Thomas Nadeau, 
"Interface to the Routing System Framework," July 2012, 
draft-ward-irs-framework-00.

I use:

Alia Atlas, Cisco Systems, Dave Ward, Juniper Networks, and Thomas Nadeau, 
"Interface to the Routing System Framework," Internet-Draft 
draft-ward-irs-framework-00, Work in Progress, July 2012.
