This is an old revision of the document!

Sample of an unpaginated text RFC (as soon as I get the permissions fixed to allow the upload of a .txt file)

New features include:

1. An RFC Editor note indicating that the document contains information that do not render in ASCII
   1. If there is no additional information/artwork, then it seems there should be a PI or attribute in the XML file to make the note appear or not appear.
2. Sample text if an image were to be included
3. An author name with Cyrillic script alternative
   1. Is there a way to ensure that a .txt file is displayed with the correct encoding in various applications? (Probably no.) Should every .txt (meaning .txt that contains non-ASCII characters) have a statement that the reader should set their display encoding to UTF-8 or could this reasonably be considered covered by the RFC Editor statement?
   2. There are strong arguments for listing the unicode symbols where non-ASCII characters are used in a document; this becomes a consideration particularly when we allow non-ASCII characters in examples and/or other areas of the text (outside Author's Addresses). What kind of checking would we need to make that happen? (see http://www.rfc-editor.org/rse/FormatFAQ.html#8)
