directories.
>This draft is a work item of the IETF Steering Group Working Group of the
IETF.
>> Title : Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations Section in RFCs
> Author(s) : H. Alvestrand, T. Narten
> Filename : draft-iesg-iana-considerations-03.txt
> Pages : 10
> Date : 13-Mar-98
>> Many protocols make use of identifiers consisting of constants and
> other well-known values. Even after a protocol has been defined and
> deployment has begun, new values may need to be assigned (e.g., for a
> new option type in DHCP, or a new authentication algorithm). To
> insure that such quantities have unique values, their assignment must
> be administered by a central authority. In the Internet, that role is
> provided by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
>> In order for the IANA to manage a given numbering space prudently, it
> needs guidelines describing the conditions under which new values can
> be assigned. If the IANA is expected to play a role in the management
> of a numbering space, the IANA must be given clear and concise
> instructions describing that role. This document discusses issues
> that should be considered in formulating an identifier assignment
> policy and provides guidelines to document authors on the specific
> text that must be included in documents that place demands on the
> IANA.

> a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
> exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
> "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
> up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
> how to manipulate these messages.
