1. Introduction
This document describes the updated version 3 ("v3") of the "xml2rfc"
vocabulary as implemented in xml2rfc tools at the time of
publication.
The v3 format is used as part of the new RFC Series format described
in [RFC6949]. The new format is handled by existing tools for
preparing the XML and converting it to other representations.
Features of the tools are described in Appendix B. That section
defines some terms used throughout this document, such as "prep tool"
and "formatter".
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
Note that the vocabulary contains certain constructs that might not
be used when generating the final text; however, they can provide
useful data for other uses (such as index generation, populating a
keyword database, or syntax checks).
In this document, the term "format" is used when describing types of
documents, primarily XML and HTML. The term "representation" is used
when talking about a specific instantiation of a format, such as an
XML document or an HTML document that was created by an XML document.
1.1. Differences from RFC 7991 in This Document
This is a (hopefully) complete list of all the technical changes
between [RFC7991] and this document.
* Allow <blockquote> as a child of <aside> and <li>.
* Removed "It is an error to have both a "src" attribute and content
in the <artwork> element." from Section 3.6.6.
* Added <u> element.
* Changed the "hanging" attribute of <dl> to "newline".
* Added the "indent" attribute to <dl>.
* Added the "align" attribute to <table>. Made the table title
centered under the table.
* The <name> element now allows many more elements inside of it.
* Redefined <references> to allow <references> within it. In the
typical case, an outer <references> will be used to hold an inner
<references> for normative references and an inner <references> to
hold informative references.
* Un-deprecated metadata attributes on the <rfc> element (with the
intent to restore v2 semantics of <seriesInfo> as well).
* Added <contact> element.
* Allowed multiple <email> elements in <address>.
* Added "markers" attribute to <sourcecode> element.
* Added "brackets" attribute to <eref> element.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
* Added <toc> element, added grammar to allow authors section at the
end.
1.2. New Attributes for Existing Elements
* Add "sortRefs", "symRefs", "tocDepth", and "tocInclude" attributes
to <rfc> to cover Processing Instructions (PIs) that were in v2
that are still needed in the grammar. Add "prepTime" to indicate
the time that the XML went through a preparation step. Add
"version" to indicate the version of xml2rfc vocabulary used in
the document. Add "scripts" to indicate which scripts are needed
to render the document. Add "expiresDate" when an Internet-Draft
expires.
* Add "ascii" attributes to <email>, <organization>, <street>,
<city>, <region>, <country>, and <code>. Also add
"asciiFullname", "asciiInitials", and "asciiSurname" to <author>.
This allows an author to specify their information in their native
scripts as the primary entry and still allow the ASCII-equivalent
values to appear in the processed documents.
* Add "anchor" attributes to many block elements to allow them to be
linked with <relref> and <xref>.
* Add the "section", "relative", and "sectionFormat" attributes to
<xref>.
* Add the "numbered" and "removeInRFC" attributes to <section>.
* Add the "removeInRFC" attribute to <note>.
* Add "pn" to <artwork>, <aside>, <blockquote>, <boilerplate>, <dt>,
<figure>, <iref>, <li>, <references>, <section>, <sourcecode>,
<t>, and <table> to hold automatically generated numbers for items
in a section that don't have their own numbering (namely figures
and tables).
* Add "display" to <cref> to indicate to tools whether or not to
display the comment.
* Add "keepWithNext" and "keepWithPrevious" to <t> as a hint to
tools that do pagination that they should try to keep the
paragraph with the next/previous element.
* Add "indent" to <t> to allow for explicitly indented paragraphs.

1.3. Elements and Attributes Deprecated from Original v3
These elements were present in the original vocabulary for v3 but
have been deprecated. They may be removed from tools in the future.
Deprecated attributes are still listed in Section 3, and deprecated
elements are listed in Section 4.
* Deprecate <city>, <cityarea>, <code>, <extaddr>, <pobox>,
<region>, <sortingcode>, and <street> in favor of <postalLine>.
These elements require an unsupported external library to format.
* Deprecate <relref>, in favor of <xref>.
1.4. Elements and Attributes Deprecated from v2
Deprecated elements and attributes are legacy vocabulary from v2 that
are supported for input to v3 tools. They are likely to be removed
from those tools in the future. Deprecated attributes are still
listed in Section 3, and deprecated elements are listed in Section 4.
See Appendix B for more information on tools and how they will handle
deprecated features.
* Deprecate <list> in favor of <dl>, <ul>, and <ol>.
* Deprecate <spanx>; replace it with <strong>, <em>, and <tt>.
* Deprecate <vspace> because the major use for it, creating pseudo-
paragraph-breaks in lists, is now handled properly.
* Deprecate <texttable>, <ttcol>, and <c>; replace them with the new
table elements (<table> and the elements that can be contained
within it).
* Deprecate <facsimile> because it is rarely used.
* Deprecate <format> because it is not useful and has caused
surprise for authors in the past. If the goal is to provide a
single URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) for a reference, use the
"target" attribute in <reference> instead.
* Deprecate <preamble> and <postamble> in favor of simply using <t>
before or after the figure. This also deprecates the "align"
attribute in <figure>.
* Deprecate the "title" attribute in <section>, <note>, <figure>,
<references>, and <texttable> in favor of the new <name>.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
* Deprecate the "alt" and "src" attributes in <figure> because they
overlap with the attributes in <artwork>.
* Deprecate the "xml:space" attribute in <artwork> because there was
only one useful value. Deprecate the "height" and "width"
attributes in both <artwork> and <figure> because they are not
needed for the new output formats.
* Deprecate the "pageno" attribute in <xref> because it was unused
in v2.
1.5. Additional Changes from v2
* Allow non-ASCII characters in the format; the characters that are
actually allowed will be determined by the RFC Series Editor.
* Allow <artwork> and <sourcecode> to be used on their own in
<section> (no longer confine them to a figure).
* Give more specifics of handling the "type" attribute in <artwork>.
* Allow <strong>, <em>, <tt>, <eref>, and <xref> in <cref>.
* Allow the sub-elements inside a <reference> to be in any order.
* Turn off the autogeneration of anchors in <cref> because there is
no use case for them that cannot be achieved in other ways.
* Allow more than one <artwork>, or more than one <sourcecode>, in
<figure>.
* In <front>, make <date> optional.
* In <date>, add restrictions to the "date" and "year" attributes
when used in the <front> for the document's boilerplate text.
* In <postal>, allow the sub-elements to be in any order. Also
allow the inclusion of the new <postalLine> instead of the older
elements.
* In <section>, restrict the names of the anchors that can be used
on some types of sections.
* Make <seriesInfo> a child of <front>, and deprecated it as a child
of <reference>.
* <t> now only contains non-block elements, so it no longer contains
<figure> elements.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
* Do not generate the grammar from a DTD, but instead get it
directly from the RELAX Next Generation (RNG) grammar [RNG].
2. Syntax Notation
The XML vocabulary here is defined in prose, based on the RELAX NG
schema [RNC] contained in Appendix C (specified in RELAX NG Compact
Notation (RNC)).
Note that the schema can be used for automated validity checks, but
certain constraints are only described in prose (example: the
conditionally required presence of the "abbrev" attribute).
3. Elements
The sections below describe all elements and their attributes.
Note that attributes not labeled "mandatory" are optional.
Many elements have an optional "anchor" attribute. In all cases, the
value of the "anchor" attribute needs to be a valid XML "Name"
(Section 2.3 of [XML]), additionally constrained to US-ASCII
characters [USASCII]. Thus, the character repertoire consists of
"A-Z", "a-z", "0-9", "_", "-", ".", and ":", where "0-9", ".", and
"-" are disallowed as start characters. Anchors are described in
more detail in Appendix B.2.
Tools interpreting the XML described here will collapse horizontal
whitespace and line breaks to a single whitespace (except inside
<artwork> and <sourcecode>) and will trim leading and trailing
whitespace. Tab characters (U+0009) inside <artwork> and
<sourcecode> are prohibited.
Some of the elements have attributes that are not described in this
section because those attributes are specific to the prep tool.
People writing tools to process this format should read all of the
appendices for a complete description of these attributes.
Every element in the v3 vocabulary can have an "xml:lang" attribute,
an "xml:base" attribute, or both. The xml:lang attribute specifies
the language used in the element. This is sometimes useful for
renderers that display different fonts for ideographic characters
used in China and Japan. The xml:base attribute is sometimes added
to an XML file when doing XML-to-XML conversion where the base file
has XInclude attributes (see Appendix B.1).

This element appears as a child element of <front> (Section 3.26).
Content model: only text content.
3.5. <artset>
This element allows for the support of alternative artwork formats.
This will allow the renderer to pick the most appropriate <artwork>
instance for its format from the alternatives present within an
<artset> element. Each of the <artwork> elements must have a "type"
attribute.
If more than one <artwork> element is found within an <artset>
element, with the same "type" attribute, the rendere could select the
first one, or possibly choose between the alternative instances based
on the output format and some quality of the alternative instances
that made one more suitable than the other for that particular
format, such as size, aspect ration, etc.
This element appears as a child element of <aside> (Section 3.7),
<blockquote> (Section 3.11), <dd> (Section 3.18), <figure>
(Section 3.25), <li> (Section 3.29), <section> (Section 3.44), <td>

Content model:
One or more <artwork> elements (Section 3.6)
3.5.1. "anchor" Attribute
Same as for the <artwork> element (Section 3.6).
3.6. <artwork>
This element allows the inclusion of "artwork" in the document.
<artwork> provides full control of horizontal whitespace and line
breaks; thus, it is used for a variety of things, such as diagrams
("line art") and protocol unit diagrams. Tab characters (U+0009)
inside of this element are prohibited.
Alternatively, the "src" attribute allows referencing an external
graphics file, such as a vector drawing in SVG or a bitmap graphic
file, using a URI. In this case, the textual content acts as a
fallback for output representations that do not support graphics;
thus, it ought to contain either (1) a "line art" variant of the
graphics or (2) prose that describes the included image in sufficient
detail.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
In [RFC7749], the <artwork> element was also used for source code and
formal languages; in v3, this is now done with <sourcecode>.
There are at least five ways to include SVG in artwork in Internet-
Drafts:
* Inline, by including all of the SVG in the content of the element,
such as: <artwork type="svg"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/
svg...">
* Inline, but using XInclude (see Appendix B.1), such as: <artwork
type="svg"><xi:include href=...>
* As a data: URI, such as: <artwork type="svg" src="data:image/
svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3...">
* As a URI to an external entity, such as: <artwork type="svg"
src="http://www.example.com/...">
* As a local file, such as: <artwork type="svg" src="diagram12.svg">
The use of SVG in Internet-Drafts and RFCs is covered in much more
detail in [RFC7996].
The above methods for inclusion of SVG art can also be used for
including text artwork, but using a data: URI is probably confusing
for text artwork.
Formatters that do pagination should attempt to keep artwork on a
single page. This is to prevent artwork that is split across pages
from looking like two separate pieces of artwork.
See Section 6 for a description of how to deal with issues of using
"&" and "<" characters in artwork.
This element appears as a child element of <artset> (Section 3.5),
<aside> (Section 3.7), <blockquote> (Section 3.11), <dd>

<svg> elements (Section 5)
3.6.1. "align" Attribute
Controls whether the artwork appears left justified (default),
centered, or right justified. Artwork is aligned relative to the
left margin of the document.
Allowed values:
* "left" (default)
* "center"
* "right"
3.6.2. "alt" Attribute
Alternative text description of the artwork (which is more than just
a summary or caption). When the art comes from the "src" attribute
and the format of that artwork supports alternate text, the
alternative text comes from the text of the artwork itself, not from
this attribute. The contents of this attribute are important to
readers who are visually impaired, as well as those reading on
devices that cannot show the artwork well, or at all.
3.6.3. "anchor" Attribute
Document-wide unique identifier for this artwork.
3.6.4. "height" Attribute
Deprecated.
3.6.5. "name" Attribute
A filename suitable for the contents (such as for extraction to a
local file). This attribute can be helpful for other kinds of tools
(such as automated syntax checkers, which work by extracting the
artwork). Note that the "name" attribute does not need to be unique
for <artwork> elements in a document. If multiple <artwork> elements
have the same "name" attribute, a processing tool might assume that
the elements are all fragments of a single file, and the tool can
collect those fragments for later processing. See Section 8 for a
discussion of possible problems with the value of this attribute.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
3.6.6. "src" Attribute
The URI reference of a graphics file [RFC3986], or the name of a file
on the local disk. This can be a "data" URI [RFC2397] that contains
the contents of the graphics file. Note that the inclusion of art
with the "src" attribute depends on the capabilities of the
processing tool reading the XML document. Tools need to be able to
handle the file: URI, and they should be able to handle http: and
https: URIs as well. The prep tool will be able to handle reading
the "src" attribute.
If no URI scheme is given in the attribute, the attribute is
considered to be a local filename relative to the current directory.
Processing tools must be careful to not accept dangerous values for
the filename, particularly those that contain absolute references
outside the current directory. Document creators should think hard
before using relative URIs due to possible later problems if files
move around on the disk. Also, documents should most likely use
explicit URI schemes wherever possible.
In some cases, the prep tool may remove the "src" attribute after
processing its value. See [RFC7998] for a description of this.
3.6.7. "type" Attribute
Specifies the type of the artwork. The value of this attribute is
free text with certain values designated as preferred.
The preferred values for <artwork> types are:
* ascii-art
* binary-art
* svg
3.6.8. "width" Attribute
Deprecated.
3.6.9. "xml:space" Attribute
Deprecated.
3.7. <aside>

important or tangential to the content that surrounds it.

3.7.1. "anchor" Attribute
Document-wide unique identifier for this aside.
3.8. <author>
Provides information about a document's author. This is used both
for the document itself (at the beginning of the document) and for
referenced documents.
The <author> elements contained within the document's <front> element
are used to fill the boilerplate and also to generate the "Author's
Address" section (see [RFC7322]).
Note that an "author" can also be just an organization (by not
specifying any of the "name" attributes, but adding the
<organization> child element).
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
Furthermore, the "role" attribute can be used to mark an author as
"editor". This is reflected both on the front page and in the
"Author's Address" section, as well as in bibliographic references.
Note that this specification does not define a precise meaning for
the term "editor".

conjunction with the separately specified asciiSurname.
3.8.4. "asciiSurname" Attribute
The ASCII equivalent of the author's surname, to be used in
conjunction with the separately specified asciiInitials.
3.8.5. "fullname" Attribute
The full name (used in the automatically generated "Author's Address"
section). Although this attribute is optional, if one or more of the
"asciiFullname", "asciiInitials", or "asciiSurname" attributes have
values, the "fullname" attribute is required.
3.8.6. "initials" Attribute
An abbreviated variant of the given name(s), to be used in
conjunction with the separately specified surname. It usually
appears on the front page, in footers, and in references.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
Some processors will post-process the value -- for instance, when it
only contains a single letter (in which case they might add a
trailing dot). Relying on this kind of post-processing can lead to
results varying across formatters and thus ought to be avoided.
3.8.7. "role" Attribute
Specifies the role the author had in creating the document.
3.8.8. "surname" Attribute
The author's surname, to be used in conjunction with the separately
specified initials. It usually appears on the front page, in
footers, and in references.
3.9. <back>
Contains the "back" part of the document: the references and
appendices. In <back>, <section> elements indicate appendices.

Marks text that are phrases defined in [BCP14] such as "MUST",
"SHOULD NOT", and so on. When shown in some of the output
representations, the text in this element might be highlighted. The
use of this element is optional.
This element is only to be used around the actual phrase from BCP 14,
not the full definition of a requirement. For example, it is correct

3.17. <date>
Provides information about the publication date. This element is
used for two cases: the boilerplate of the document being produced,
and inside bibliographic references that use the <front> element.
Boilerplate for Internet-Drafts and RFCs: This element defines the
date of publication for the current document (Internet-Draft or
RFC). When producing Internet-Drafts, the prep tool uses this
date to compute the expiration date (see [IDGUIDE]). When one or
more of "year", "month", or "day" are left out, the prep tool will
attempt to use the current system date if the attributes that are
present are consistent with that date.
In dates in <rfc> elements, the month must be a number or a month
in English. The prep tool will silently change text month names
to numbers. Similarly, the year must be a four-digit number.
When the prep tool is used to create Internet-Drafts, it will
reject a submitted Internet-Draft that has a <date> element in the
boilerplate for itself that is anything other than today. That
is, the tool will not allow a submitter to specify a date other
than the day of submission. To avoid this problem, authors might
simply not include a <date> element in the boilerplate.
Bibliographic references: In dates in <reference> elements, the date
information can have prose text for the month or year. For
example, vague dates (year="ca. 2000"), date ranges
(year="2012-2013"), non-specific months (month="Second quarter"),
and so on are allowed.

more mnemonic anchor names for automatically included references.
The mapping in this element only applies to <xref> elements whose
format is "default". For example, if the reference uses the anchor
"RFC6949", the following would cause that anchor in the body of
displayed documents to be "RFC-dev":
<displayreference target="RFC6949" to="RFC-dev"/>

The ASCII equivalent of the author's email address. This is only
used if the email address has any internationalized components.
3.24. <eref>
Represents an "external" link (as specified in the "target"
attribute). This is useful for embedding URIs in the body of a
document.
If the <eref> element has non-empty text content, formatters should
use the content as the displayed text that is linked. Otherwise, the
formatter should use the value of the "target" attribute as the
displayed text. Formatters will link the displayed text to the value
of the "target" attribute in a manner appropriate for the output
format.

3.27. <iref>
Provides terms for the document's index.
Index entries can be either regular entries (when just the "item"
attribute is given) or nested entries (by specifying "subitem" as
well), grouped under a regular entry.
Index entries generally refer to the exact place where the <iref>
element occurred. An exception is the occurrence as a child element
of <section>, in which case the whole section is considered to be
relevant for that index entry. In some formats, index entries of
this type might be displayed as ranges.
When the prep tool is creating index content, it preserves the case
of each item and subitem. The index is sorted in conventional
alphabetical order disregarding case.

3.30. <link>
A link to an external document that is related to the RFC.
The following are the supported types of external documents that can
be pointed to in a <link> element:
* The current International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) for the
RFC Series. The value for the "rel" attribute is "item". The
link should use the form "urn:issn:".
* The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for this document. The value
for the "rel" attribute is "describedBy". The link should use the
form specified in [RFC7669]; this is expected to change in the
future.
* The Internet-Draft that was submitted to the RFC Editor to become
the published RFC. The value for the "rel" attribute is
"convertedFrom". The link should be to an IETF-controlled web
site that retains copies of Internet-Drafts.
* A representation of the document offered by the document author.
The value for the "rel" attribute is "alternate". The link can be
to a personally run web site.
In RFC production mode, the prep tool needs to check the values for
<link> before an RFC is published. In draft production mode, the
prep tool might remove some <link> elements during the draft

3.34.1. "anchor" Attribute
Document-wide unique identifier for the list.
3.34.2. "group" Attribute
When the prep tool sees an <ol> element with a "group" attribute that
has already been seen, it continues the numbering of the list from
where the previous list with the same group name left off. If an
<ol> element has both a "group" attribute and a "start" attribute,
the group's numbering is reset to the given start value.
3.34.3. "indent" Attribute
The indentation of the list elements relative to the start of the
list item number. With indent='adaptive', the widest list item
number determines the indentation. A numeric value is interpreted as
characters when rendering plain-text documents, and en-space units
otherwise. Only non-negative integer indentation is allowed.
Allowed values:
* text
* "adaptive" (default)
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 40]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
Allowed values:
* "adaptive" (default)
3.34.4. "spacing" Attribute
Defines whether or not there is a blank line between entries.
spacing="normal" indicates a single blank line, while
spacing="compact" indicates no space between.
Allowed values:
* "normal" (default)
* "compact"
3.34.5. "start" Attribute
The ordinal value at which to start the list. This defaults to "1"
and must be an integer of 0 or greater.
3.34.6. "type" Attribute
The type of the labels on list items. If the length of the type
value is 1, the meaning is the same as it is for HTML:
a Lowercase letters (a, b, c, ...)
A Uppercase letters (A, B, C, ...)
1 Decimal numbers (1, 2, 3, ...)
i Lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, ...)
I Uppercase Roman numerals (I, II, III, ...)
For types "a" and "A", after the 26th entry, the numbering starts at
"aa"/"AA", then "ab"/"AB", and so on.
If the length of the type value is greater than 1, the value must
contain a percent-encoded indicator and other text. The value is a
free-form text that allows counter values to be inserted using a
"percent-letter" format. For instance, "[REQ%d]" generates labels of
the form "[REQ1]", where "%d" inserts the item number as a decimal
number.
The following formats are supported:
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 41]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
%c Lowercase letters (a, b, c, ...)
%C Uppercase letters (A, B, C, ...)
%d Decimal numbers (1, 2, 3, ...)
%i Lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, ...)
%I Uppercase Roman numerals (I, II, III, ...)
%% Represents a percent sign
Other formats are reserved for future use. Only one percent encoding
other than "%%" is allowed in a type string.
It is an error for the type string to be empty. For bulleted lists,
use the <ul> element. For lists that have neither bullets nor
numbers, use the <ul> element with the 'empty="true"' attribute.
If no type attribute is given, the default type is the same as
"type='%d.'".
3.35. <organization>
Specifies the affiliation [RFC7322] of an author.
This information appears both in the "Author's Address" section and
on the front page (see [RFC7322] for more information). If the value
is long, an abbreviated variant can be specified in the "abbrev"
attribute.
This element appears as a child element of <author> (Section 3.8) and
<contact> (Section 3.14).
Content model: only text content.
3.35.1. "abbrev" Attribute
Abbreviated variant.
3.35.2. "ascii" Attribute

This element appears as a child element of <address> (Section 3.2).
Content model: only text content.
3.37. <postal>
Contains optional child elements providing postal information. A

3.38.1. "ascii" Attribute
The ASCII equivalent of the text in the address line.
3.39. <refcontent>
Text that should appear between the title and the date of a

abuse <seriesInfo> to get such text in a reference.
For example:
<reference anchor="April1">

Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
3.42.1. "anchor" Attribute
An optional user-supplied identifier for this set of references.
3.42.2. "title" Attribute
Deprecated. Use <name> instead.
3.43. <rfc>
This is the root element of the xml2rfc vocabulary.
Processors distinguish between RFC mode ("number" attribute being
present) and Internet-Draft mode ("docName" present and "number"
absent): when both are present, "number" takes precedence. Setting
neither "number" nor "docName" can be useful for producing other
types of documents but is out of scope for this specification.
Content model:
In this order:
1. Optional <link> elements (Section 3.30)
2. One <front> element (Section 3.26)
3. One <middle> element (Section 3.31)
4. One optional <back> element (Section 3.9)
3.43.1. "category" Attribute
Document category (see Appendix A.1).
Allowed values:
* "std"
* "bcp"
* "exp"
* "info"
* "historic"

Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
3.43.2. "consensus" Attribute
Affects the generated boilerplate. Note that the values of "no" and
"yes" are deprecated and are replaced by "false" (the default) and
"true".
See [RFC7841] and Appendix A.4 for more information.
Allowed values:
* "no"
* "yes"
* "false" (default)
* "true"
3.43.3. "docName" Attribute
For Internet-Drafts, this specifies the draft name (which appears
below the title).
If both the "docName" and "number" attributes are given, the latter
takes precedence (and the draft name indicates the Internet-Draft
from which the document was produced).
Note that the file extension is not part of the draft, so in general
it should end with the current draft number ("-", plus two digits).
Furthermore, it is good practice to disambiguate current editor
copies from submitted drafts (for instance, by replacing the draft
number with the string "latest").
See Section 7 of [IDGUIDE] for further information.
3.43.4. "indexInclude" Attribute
Specifies whether or not a formatter is requested to include an index
in generated files. If the source file has no <iref> elements, an
index is never generated. This option is useful for generating
documents where the source document has <iref> elements but the
author no longer wants an index.
Allowed values:
* "true" (default)
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 49]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
* "false"
3.43.5. "ipr" Attribute
Represents the Intellectual Property status of the document. See
Appendix A.2 for details.
3.43.6. "iprExtract" Attribute
Identifies a single section within the document for which extraction
"as is" is explicitly allowed (only relevant for historic values of
the "ipr" attribute).
3.43.7. "number" Attribute
The number of the RFC to be produced.
3.43.8. "obsoletes" Attribute
A comma-separated list of RFC numbers or Internet-Draft names. The
implemenation has allowed white space around the commas, and one RFC
has Unicode zero-width space characters (U+200b), to work around a
line breaking problem when rendering the RFC. It would be better to
disallow white space and deal with line breaks while rendering.
The prep tool will parse the attribute value so that incorrect
references can be detected.
3.43.9. "prepTime" Attribute
The date that the XML was processed by a prep tool. This is included
in the XML file just before it is saved to disk. The value is
formatted using the "date-time" format defined in Section 5.6 of
[RFC3339]. The "time-offset" should be "Z".
3.43.10. "seriesNo" Attribute
Number within a document series.
The document series is defined by the "category" attribute;
"seriesNo" is only applicable to the values "info" ("FYI" series),
"std" ("STD" series), and "bcp" ("BCP" series).
3.43.11. "sortRefs" Attribute
Specifies whether or not the prep tool will sort the references in
each reference section.

Editor may change the list of allowed values in the future.)
Allowed values:
* "IETF" (default)
* "IAB"
* "IRTF"
* "independent"
3.43.13. "symRefs" Attribute
Specifies whether or not a formatter is requested to use symbolic
references (such as "[RFC2119]"). If the value for this is "false",
the references come out as numbers (such as "[3]").
Allowed values:
* "true" (default)
* "false"
3.43.14. "tocDepth" Attribute
Specifies the number of levels of headings that a formatter is
requested to include in the table of contents; the default is "3".
3.43.15. "tocInclude" Attribute
Specifies whether or not a formatter is requested to include a table
of contents in generated files.
Allowed values:
* "true" (default)
* "false"

Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
3.43.16. "updates" Attribute
A comma-separated list of RFC numbers or Internet-Draft names. The
implemenation has allowed white space around the commas, and one RFC
has Unicode zero-width space characters (U+200b), to work around a
line breaking problem when rendering the RFC. It would be better to
disallow white space and deal with line breaks while rendering.
The prep tool will parse the attribute value so that incorrect
references can be detected.
3.43.17. "version" Attribute
Specifies the version of xml2rfc syntax used in this document. The
only expected value (for now) is "3".
3.44. <section>
Represents a section (when inside a <middle> element) or an appendix
(when inside a <back> element).
Subsections are created by nesting <section> elements inside
<section> elements. Sections are allowed to be empty.
This element appears as a child element of <back> (Section 3.9),
<boilerplate> (Section 3.12), <middle> (Section 3.31), <section>
(Section 3.44), and <toc> (Section 3.59).

* <ul> elements (Section 3.63)
3. Optional <section> elements (Section 3.44)
3.44.1. "anchor" Attribute
Document-wide unique identifier for this section.
3.44.2. "numbered" Attribute
If set to "false", the formatter is requested to not display a
section number. The prep tool will verify that such a section is not
followed by a numbered section in this part of the document and will
verify that the section is a top-level section. Descendant sections
of unnumbered sections are unnumbered by definition.
Allowed values:
* "true" (default)
* "false"
3.44.3. "removeInRFC" Attribute
If set to "true", this note is marked in the prep tool with text
indicating that it should be removed before the document is published
as an RFC. That text will be "This note is to be removed before
publishing as an RFC."
Allowed values:
* "true"

Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
* "false" (default)
3.44.4. "title" Attribute
Deprecated. Use <name> instead.
3.44.5. "toc" Attribute
Indicates to a formatter whether or not the section is to be included
in a table of contents, if such a table of contents is produced.
This only takes effect if the level of the section would have
appeared in the table of contents based on the "tocDepth" attribute
of the <rfc> element, and of course only if the table of contents is
being created based on the "tocInclude" attribute of the <rfc>
element. If this is set to "exclude", any section below this one
will be excluded as well. The "default" value indicates inclusion of
the section if it would be included by the tocDepth attribute of the
<rfc> element.
Allowed values:
* "include"
* "exclude"
* "default" (default)
3.45. <seriesInfo>
Specifies the document series in which this document appears, and
also specifies an identifier within that series.
This element appears as a child element of <front> (Section 3.26) and
<reference> (Section 3.40).
Content model: this element does not have any contents.
3.45.1. "asciiName" Attribute
The ASCII equivalent of the name field.
3.45.2. "asciiValue" Attribute
The ASCII equivalent of the value field.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 54]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
3.45.3. "name" Attribute _(Mandatory)_
Some series names might trigger specific processing (such as for
autogenerating links, inserting descriptions such as "work in
progress", or additional functionality like reference diagnostics).
Examples for IETF-related series names are "BCP", "FYI", "Internet-
Draft", "RFC", and "STD".
Some of the values for "name" interact as follows:
* A <front> element that has a <seriesInfo> element that has the
name "Internet-Draft" cannot also have a <seriesInfo> element that
has the name "RFC".
* The <seriesInfo> element can contain the DOI for the referenced
document. This cannot be used when the <seriesInfo> element is an
eventual child element of an <rfc> element -- only as an eventual
child of a <reference> element. The "value" attribute should use
the form specified in [RFC7669].
3.45.4. "status" Attribute
The status of this document. The currently known values are
"standard", "informational", "experimental", "bcp", "fyi", and "full-
standard". The RFC Series Editor may change this list in the future.
3.45.5. "stream" Attribute
The stream (as described in [RFC7841]) that originated the document.
(The RFC Series Editor may change this list in the future.)
Allowed values:
* "IETF"
* "IAB"
* "IRTF"
* "independent"
3.45.6. "value" Attribute _(Mandatory)_
The identifier within the series specified by the "name" attribute.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 55]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
For BCPs, FYIs, RFCs, and STDs, this is the number within the series.
For Internet-Drafts, it is the full draft name (ending with the two-
digit version number). For DOIs, the value is given, such as
"10.17487/rfc1149", as described in [RFC7669].
The name in the value should be the document name without any file
extension. For Internet-Drafts, the value for this attribute should
be "draft-ietf-somewg-someprotocol-07", not "draft-ietf-somewg-
someprotocol-07.txt".
3.46. <sourcecode>
This element allows the inclusion of source code into the document.
When rendered, source code is always shown in a monospace font. When
<sourcecode> is a child of <figure> or <section>, it provides full
control of horizontal whitespace and line breaks. When formatted, it
is indented relative to the left margin of the enclosing element. It
is thus useful for source code and formal languages (such as ABNF
[RFC5234] or the RNC notation used in this document). (When
<sourcecode> is a child of other elements, it flows with the text
that surrounds it.) Tab characters (U+0009) inside of this element
are prohibited.
For artwork such as character-based art, diagrams of message layouts,
and so on, use the <artwork> element instead.
Output formatters that do pagination should attempt to keep source
code on a single page. This is to prevent source code that is split
across pages from looking like two separate pieces of code.
See Section 6 for a description of how to deal with issues of using
"&" and "<" characters in source code.
This element appears as a child element of <blockquote>
(Section 3.11), <dd> (Section 3.18), <figure> (Section 3.25), <li>
(Section 3.29), <section> (Section 3.44), <td> (Section 3.54), and
<th> (Section 3.56).
Content model: only text content.
3.46.1. "anchor" Attribute
Document-wide unique identifier for this source code.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 56]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
3.46.2. "markers" Attribute
Specifies whether or not the soure code should be displayed between
"<CODE BEGINS>"/"<CODE ENDS>" markers, as described in
<https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/copyright-
2009-09-08/>. Note that adding markers is not needed for the
languages listed under "Code Components" on
<https://trustee.ietf.org/trust-legal-provisions.html>.
Additionally, if the "name" attribute is present, if will be
displayed after "<CODE BEGINS>", as described in Section 3.2 of
[RFC8407].
Allowed values:
* "true"
* "false" (default)
3.46.3. "name" Attribute
A filename suitable for the contents (such as for extraction to a
local file). This attribute can be helpful for other kinds of tools
(such as automated syntax checkers, which work by extracting the
source code). Note that the "name" attribute does not need to be
unique for <artwork> elements in a document. If multiple
<sourcecode> elements have the same "name" attribute, a formatter
might assume that the elements are all fragments of a single file,
and such a formatter can collect those fragments for later
processing.
3.46.4. "src" Attribute
The URI reference of a source file [RFC3986].
It is an error to have both a "src" attribute and content in the
<sourcecode> element.
3.46.5. "type" Attribute
Specifies the type of the source code. The value of this attribute
is free text with certain values designated as preferred.
The RFC Editor web site has a list of the preferred values at
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/materials/sourcecode-types.txt>). That
list is updated over time. Thus, a consumer of RFCXML should not
cause a failure when it encounters an unexpected type or no type is
specified.

Content model: only text content.
3.62.1. "anchor" Attribute
Document-wide unique identifier for this <u> element.
3.62.2. "ascii" Attribute
The ASCII equivalent of the content, to be used if the "ascii"
keyword is used in the "format" specification.
3.62.3. "format" Attribute
Default value: "lit-name-num"
The "format" attribute accepts either a simplified format
specification, or a full format string with placeholders for the
various possible Unicode expansions.
The simplified format consists of dash-separated keywords, where each
keyword represents a possible expansion of the Unicode character or
string; use for example "<u "lit-num-name">foo</u>" to expand the
text to its literal value, code point values, and code point names.
A combination of up to 3 of the following keywords may be used,
separated by dashes: "num", "lit", "name", "ascii", "char". The
keywords are expanded as follows and combined, with the second and
third enclosed in parentheses if present:
ascii
The value of the 'ascii' attribute on the <u> element
char
The literal element text, without quotes
lit
The literal element text, enclosed in quotes
name
The Unicode name(s) of the element text
num
The numeric value(s) of the element text, in U+1234 notation

In order to ensure that no specification mistakes can result for
rendering methods that cannot render all Unicode code points, "num"
MUST always be part of the specified format.
In order to provide for cases where the simplified format above is
insufficient, without relinquishing the requirement that the number
of a code point always must be rendered, the "format" attribute can
also accept a full format string. This format uses placeholders
which consist of any of the key words above enclosed in curly braces;
outside of this, any ascii text is permissible. For example,
will be rendered as

that no label will be shown.
Allowed values:
* "false" (default)
* "true"
3.63.4. "indent" Attribute
The indentation of the list elements relative to the start of the
bullet or bullet text. A numeric value is interpreted as characters
when rendering plain-text documents, and en-space units otherwise.
Only non-negative integer indentation is allowed.
3.63.5. "spacing" Attribute
Defines whether or not there is a blank line between entries.
spacing="normal" indicates a single blank line, while
spacing="compact" indicates no space between.
Allowed values:

recommended format is the official name of the Working Group (with
some capitalization).
In Internet-Drafts, this is used in the upper left corner of the

3.66.1. "format" Attribute
This attribute signals to formatters what the desired format of the
reference should be. Formatters for document types that have linking
capability should wrap the displayed text in hyperlinks.
"counter"
The "derivedContent" attribute will contain just a counter. This
is used for targets that are <section>, <figure>, <table>, or
items in an ordered list. Using "format='counter'" where the
target is any other type of element is an error.
For example, with an input of:
<section anchor="overview">Protocol Overview</section>
. . .
See Section <xref target="overview" format="counter"/>
for an overview.
An HTML formatter might generate:
See Section <a href="#overview">1.7</a> for an overview.
"default"
If the element has no content, the "derivedContent" attribute will
contain a text fragment that describes the referenced part
completely, such as "XML" for a target that is a <reference>, or
"Section 2" or "Table 4" for a target to a non-reference. (If the
element has content, the "derivedContent" attribute is filled with
the content.)
For example, with an input of:
<section anchor="overview">Protocol Overview</section>
. . .
See <xref target="overview"/> for an overview.
An HTML formatter might generate:
See <a href="#overview">Section 1.7</a> for an overview.
"none"
There will be no autogenerated text at all (this format only makes
sense if the <xref> element has text content).

"title"
If the target is a <reference> element, the "derivedContent"
attribute will contain the name of the reference, extracted from
the <title> child of the <front> child of the reference. Or, if
the target element has a <name> child element, the
"derivedContent" attribute will contain the text content of that
<name> element concatenated with the text content of each
descendant node of <name> (that is, stripping out all of the XML
markup, leaving only the text). Or, if the target element does
not contain a <name> child element, the "derivedContent" attribute
will contain the name of the "anchor" attribute of that element
with no other adornment.

3.66.3. "relative" Attribute
Specifies a relative reference to include in the URI in the target
reference. This value must include whatever leading character is
needed to create the relative reference; typically "#" for HTML
documents.
3.66.4. "section" Attribute
Specifies a section of the target reference, which must be an
external document of some kind. If the target is not an RFC or
Internet-Draft in the v3 format, and no "relative" attribute has been
provided, it is an error.
3.66.5. "sectionFormat" Attribute
This attribute tells formatters the desired format of the external
reference. Formatters for document types that have linking
capability should wrap each part of the displayed text in hyperlinks.
If there is content in the <xref> element, that content will be used
when rendering the internal link part of the <xref> rendering, but
will not affect the external link.
"of"
The <xref> element will be displayed as an external link followed
by an internal link, separated by the word 'of'. The external
link will have as its display text the word "Section" followed by
a space and the contents of the "section" attribute. This will be
followed by a space, the word "of", another space, and an internal
link to the relevant <reference> entry, formatted based on the
"format" attribute.
"comma"
The <xref> element will be displayed as an internal link followed
by an external link, separated by a comma. The external link will
have as its display text the word "Section" followed by a space
and the contents of the "section" attribute. The internal link
will point to the relevant <reference> entry, and will be rendered
according to the "format" attribute.
"parens"
The <xref> element will be displayed as an internal link followed
by an external link within parentheses. The external link will
have as its display text the word "Section" followed by a space
and the contents of the "section" attribute. The internal link
will point to the relevant <reference> entry, and will be rendered
according to the "format" attribute.

"bare"
The <xref> element will be displayed as an external link, possibly
followed by the same link within parentheses. The first external
link will have as its display text only contents of the "section"
attribute; the second link will be present within parentheses only
if the <xref> element has any text content, and will then have the
text content as its display text.
This value for the "sectionFormat" attribute is useful when it is
desired to express for instance "Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of
[RFC7997]".
Allowed values:
* "of" (default)
* "comma"
* "parens"
* "bare"
3.66.6. "target" Attribute _(Mandatory)_
Identifies the document component being referenced. The value needs
to match the value of the "anchor" attribute of an element in the

The ASCII equivalent of the region name.
4.13. <relref>
Deprecated, use <xref> instead.
Represents a link to a specific part of a document that appears in a
<reference> element. Formatters that have links (such as HTML and
PDF) render <relref> elements as external hyperlinks to the specified
part of the reference, creating the link target by combining the base
URI from the <reference> element with the "relative" attribute from
this element. The "target" attribute is required, and it must be the
anchor of a <reference> element.
The "section" attribute is required, and the "relative" attribute is
optional. If the reference is not an RFC or Internet-Draft that is
in the v3 format, the element needs to have a "relative" attribute;
in this case, the value of the "section" attribute is ignored.
An example of the <relref> element with text content might be:
See
<relref section="2.3" target="RFC9999" displayFormat="bare">

that have linking capability should wrap each part of the displayed
text in hyperlinks. If there is content in the <relref> element,
formatters will ignore the value of this attribute.
"of"
A formatter should display the relative reference as the word
"Section" followed by a space, the contents of the "section"
attribute followed by a space, the word "of", another space, and
the value from the "target" attribute enclosed in square brackets.
For example, with an input of:

Section 2.3</a> of
[<a href="#RFC9999">RFC9999</a>]
for an overview.
Note that "displayFormat='of'" is the default for <relref>, so it
does not need to be given in a <relref> element if that format is
desired.
"comma"
A formatter should display the relative reference as the value
from the "target" attribute enclosed in square brackets, a comma,
a space, the word "Section" followed by a space, and the "section"
attribute.
For example, with an input of:
See
<relref section="2.3" target="RFC9999" displayFormat="comma"/>,
for an overview.

"parens"
A formatter should display the relative reference as the value
from the "target" attribute enclosed in square brackets, a space,
a left parenthesis, the word "Section" followed by a space, the
"section" attribute, and a right parenthesis.
For example, with an input of:

"bare"
A formatter should display the relative reference as the contents
of the "section" attribute and nothing else. This is useful when
there are multiple relative references to a single base reference.
For example:
See Sections
<relref section="2.3" target="RFC9999" displayFormat="bare"/>
and
<relref section="2.4" target="RFC9999" displayFormat="of"/>

5. SVG
The discussion of the use of SVG can be found in [RFC7996]. This
element is part of the namespace "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg".
6. Use of CDATA Structures and Escaping
A common problem authors have with <artwork> and <sourcecode>
elements is that the XML processor returns errors if the text in the
artwork contains either the "&" or "<" character, or the string
"]]>". To avoid these problems, the "&" and "<" characters may be
escaped using the strings "&" and "<", respectively; the "]]>"
string can be represented as "]]>". Alternatively, they may be
surrounded in a CDATA structure: "<![CDATA[]]>". For example:
Desired output:
allowed-chars = "." | "," | "&" | "<" | ">" | "|"
Using escaping:
<sourcecode>
allowed-chars = "." | "," | "&" | "<" | ">" | "|"
</sourcecode>
Using CDATA:
<sourcecode>
<![CDATA[ allowed-chars = "." | "," | "&" | "<" | ">" | "|"]]>
</sourcecode>
Using CDATA is not a panacea, but it does help prevent having to use
escapes in places where using escapes can cause other problems, such
as difficulty of inclusion from other documents.
7. Internationalization Considerations
This format is based on [XML] and thus does not have any issues
representing arbitrary Unicode [UNICODE] characters in text content.
The RFC Series Editor may restrict some of the characters that can be
used in a particular RFC; the rules for such restrictions are covered
in [RFC7997].
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 91]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
8. Security Considerations
The "name" attribute of the <artwork> element (Section 3.6.5) can be
used to derive a filename for saving to a local file system.
Trusting this kind of information without pre-processing is a known
security risk; see Section 4.3 of [RFC6266] for more information.
The "src" attribute of the <artwork> element can be used to read
files from the local system. Processing tools must be careful to not
accept dangerous values for the filename, particularly those that
contain absolute references outside the current directory.
The "type" attribute of the <artwork> and <sourcecode> elements is
meant to encourage formatters to automatically extract known types of
content from an RFC or Internet-Draft. While extraction is probably
safe, those tools might also think that they could further process
the extracted content, such as by rendering artwork or executing
code. Doing so without first sanity-checking the extracted content
is clearly a terrible idea from a security perspective. More
generally, a tool that is reading XML input needs to be suspicious of
any content that it intends to post-process.
When there is an external reference to a URL, a processor or renderer
should fetch the content into a sandbox and should have only a
localized impact on the document processing and rendering.
All security considerations related to XML processing are relevant as
well (see Section 7 of [RFC3470]).
9. IANA Considerations
9.1. Internet Media Type Registration
IANA maintains the registry of Internet Media Types [RFC6838] at
<https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types>.
This document updates the specification for the Internet Media Type
"application/rfc+xml" from the one in [RFC7749]. The following has
been registered with IANA.
Type name: application
Subtype name: rfc+xml
Required parameters: There are no required parameters.
Optional parameters: "charset": This parameter has identical
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 92]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
semantics to the charset parameter of the "application/xml" Media
Type specified in Section 9.1 of [RFC7303].
Encoding considerations: Identical to those of "application/xml" as
described in Section 9.1 of [RFC7303].
Security considerations: As defined in Section 8. In addition, as
this Media Type uses the "+xml" convention, it inherits the
security considerations described in Section 10 of [RFC7303].
Interoperability considerations: Different implementations of this
format have had interoperability issues. It is not expected that
publication of this application will cause those implementations
to be fixed.
Published specification: This specification.
Applications that use this Media Type: Applications that transform
xml2rfc to output representations such as plain text or HTML, plus
additional analysis tools.
Fragment identifier considerations: The "anchor" attribute is used
for assigning document-wide unique identifiers that can be used as
shorthand pointers, as described in [XPOINTER].
Additional information: Deprecated alias names for this type: None
Magic number(s): As specified for
"application/xml" in [RFC7303].
File extension(s): .xml or .rfcxml when
disambiguation from other XML files is needed
Macintosh file type code(s): TEXT
Person & email address to contact for further information: See the
Author's Address section of RFC 7991.
Intended usage: COMMON
Restrictions on usage: None
Author: See the Author's Address section of RFC 7991.
Change controller: RFC Series Editor (rse@rfc-editor.org)
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 93]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
9.2. Link Relation Registration
IANA has registered "convertedFrom" in the "Link Relation Types"
registry [LINKRELATIONS].
Relation Name: convertedFrom
Description: The document linked to was later converted to the
document that contains this link relation. For example, an RFC can
have a link to the Internet-Draft that became the RFC; in that case,
the link relation would be "convertedFrom".
Reference: This document.
Notes: This relation is different than "predecessor-version" in that
"predecessor-version" is for items in a version control system. It
is also different than "previous" in that this relation is used for
converted resources, not those that are part of a sequence of
resources.
Application Data: None

Appendix A. Front-Page ("Boilerplate") Generation
The values listed here will be defined by the RFC Series Editor.
Those listed here are believed to be the current values in use.
A.1. The "category" Attribute
For RFCs, the "category" attribute (Section 3.43.1) determines the
"maturity level" (see Section 4 of [RFC2026]). The allowed values
are "std" for "Standards Track", "bcp" for "BCP", "info" for
"Informational", "exp" for "Experimental", and "historic" for
"Historic".
For Internet-Drafts, the "category" attribute is not needed; when
supplied, it will appear as "Intended Status". Supplying this
information can be useful to reviewers.
A.2. The "ipr" Attribute
This attribute value can take a long list of values, each of which
describes an IPR policy for the document (Section 3.43.5). The
values are not the result of a grand design, but they remain simply
for historic reasons. Of these values, only a few are currently in
use; all others are supported by various tools for backwards
compatibility with old source files.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 98]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
| Note: Some variations of the boilerplate are selected based on
| the document's date; therefore, it is important to specify the
| "year", "month", and "day" attributes of the <date> element
| when archiving the XML source of an Internet-Draft on the day
| of submission.
_Disclaimer: THIS ONLY PROVIDES IMPLEMENTATION INFORMATION. IF YOU
NEED LEGAL ADVICE, PLEASE CONTACT A LAWYER._ For further information,
refer to <http://trustee.ietf.org/docs/IETF-Copyright-FAQ.pdf>.
For the current "Copyright Notice" text, the submissionType attribute
of the <rfc> element (Section 3.43.12) determines whether a statement
about "Code Components" is inserted (which is the case for the value
"IETF", which is the default). Other values, such as "independent",
suppress this part of the text.
A.2.1. Current Values: "*trust200902"
The name for these values refers to version 2.0 of the IETF Trust's
"Legal Provisions Relating to IETF Documents", sometimes simply
called the "TLP", which went into effect on February 15, 2009
[TLP2.0]. Updates to the document were published on September 12,
2009 [TLP3.0] and on December 28, 2009 [TLP4.0], modifying the
license for code components (see <http://trustee.ietf.org/license-
info/> for further information). The actual text is located in
Section 6 ("Text to Be Included in IETF Documents") of these
documents.
The prep tool automatically produces the "correct" text, depending on
the document's date information (see above):

A.2.1.1. trust200902
This value should be used unless one of the more specific
"*trust200902" values is a better fit. It produces the text in
Sections 6.a and 6.b of the TLP.
A.2.1.2. noModificationTrust200902
This produces the additional text from Section 6.c.i of the TLP:
| This document may not be modified, and derivative works of it may

A.2.2. Historic Values
A.2.2.1. Historic Values: "*trust200811"
The attribute values "trust200811", "noModificationTrust200811", and
"noDerivativesTrust200811" are similar to their "trust200902"
counterparts, except that they use text specified in [TLP1.0].
A.2.2.2. Historic Values: "*3978"
The attribute values "full3978", "noModification3978", and
"noDerivatives3978" are similar to their counterparts above, except
that they use text specified in [RFC3978].
A.2.2.3. Historic Values: "*3667"
The attribute values "full3667", "noModification3667", and
"noDerivatives3667" are similar to their counterparts above, except
that they use text specified in [RFC3667].
A.2.2.4. Historic Values: "*2026"
The attribute values "full2026" and "noDerivativeWorks2026" are
similar to their counterparts above, except that they use text
specified in Section 10 of [RFC2026].
The special value "none" was also used back then; it denied the IETF
any rights beyond publication as an Internet-Draft.
A.3. The "submissionType" Attribute
The RFC Editor publishes documents from different "document streams",
of which the "IETF stream" is the most prominent. Other streams are
the "Independent Submissions stream" (used for things such as
discussion of Internet-related technologies that are not part of the
IETF agenda), the "IAB stream" (Internet Architecture Board), and the
"IRTF stream" (Internet Research Task Force).
The values for the attribute are "IETF" (the default value),
"independent", "IAB", "IRTF", and "editorial".
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 101]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
Historically, this attribute did not affect the final appearance of
RFCs, except for subtle differences in copyright notices. Nowadays
(as of [RFC7841]), the stream name appears in the first line of the
front page, and it also affects the text in the "Status of This Memo"
section.
For current documents, setting the "submissionType" attribute will
have the following effect:
* For RFCs, the stream name appears in the upper left corner of the
first page (in Internet-Drafts, this is either "Network Working
Group" or the value of the <workgroup> element).
* For RFCs, it affects the whole "Status of This Memo" section (see
Section 3.2 of [RFC7841]).
* For all RFCs and Internet-Drafts, it determines whether the
"Copyright Notice" section mentions the Copyright on Code
Components (see Section 6 of the TLP ("Text to Be Included in IETF
Documents")).
A.4. The "consensus" Attribute
For some of the publication streams (see Appendix A.3), the "Status
of This Memo" section depends on whether there was a consensus to
publish (again, see Section 3.4 of [RFC7841]).
The consensus attribute can be used to supply this information. The
acceptable values are "true" (the default) and "false"; "yes" and
"no" from v2 are deprecated.
The effect of this value for the various streams is:
* "independent": none.
* "IAB": mention that there was an IAB consensus.
* "IETF": mention that there was an IETF consensus.
* "IRTF": mention that there was a research group consensus (where
the name of the research group is extracted from the <workgroup>
element).
* "editorial": mention RSWG and RSAB approval.

Appendix B. The v3 Format and Processing Tools
This section describes topics that are specific to v3 processing
tools. Note that there is some discussion of tools in the main body
of the document as well. For example, some elements have
descriptions of how a processing tool might create output from the
element.
The expected design of the tools that will be used with v3 documents
includes:
* A "prep tool" that takes a v3 document, makes many checks, adds
and changes many attribute values, and creates a file that is a
"prepared document". The prepared document is a valid v3
document. The prep tool is described in [RFC7998].
The prep tool was expected to have many modes, although only RFC
and Draft modes are implemented:
- RFC mode -- The mode used by the RFC Editor to process the
input from one of the RFC streams and to process XML produced
during the RFC editing process. The restrictions on the
canonical XML for RFCs, as well as how the non-canonical
formats will look, are described at <https://www.rfc-
editor.org/rse/wiki/doku.php?id=design:format-and-content-
rfcs>.
- Draft mode -- The mode used by the Internet-Draft submission
tool. The restrictions for the XML from this mode will be
described later.
- Diagnostic mode -- A mode that can be used by document authors
to look for errors or warnings before they submit their
documents for publication.
- Consolidation mode -- Produces output where no external
resources are required to render the file output. This
includes expanding the XInclude entities and DTD entities in
place, and changing all elements that have "src" attributes
with external links into either "data:" URI or content for the
element, as specified in [RFC7998].
* Formatting tools that will create HTML, PDF, plain text, and
possibly other output formats. These formatters will be created
by the IETF, but others can create such tools as well. The IETF
tools are expected to take prepared documents as input.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 103]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
There may also be processing tools that are meant to run on the
computers of authors. These tools may be used to produce interim
versions of the non-canonical representations so that authors can see
how their XML might later be rendered, to create documents in
representations different than those supported by the RFC Editor, to
possibly create documents that are not meant to be Internet-Drafts or
RFCs, and to convert XML that has external information into XML that
has that external information included.
The prep tool is expected to have clear error reporting, giving more
context than just a line number. For example, the error messages
should differentiate between errors in XML and those from the v3
format.
In v2, the grammar was specified as a DTD. In v3, the grammar is
specified only as RELAX Next Generation (RNG). This means that tools
need to work from the RNG, not from a DTD. Some of the features of
the v3 grammar cannot be specified as a DTD.
B.1. Including External Text with XInclude
All tools for the v3 format are expected to support XInclude
[XInclude]. XInclude specifies a processing model and syntax for
general-purpose inclusion of information that is either on the
Internet or local to the user's computer.
In the v3 syntax, XInclude is expressed as the <xi:include> element.
To use this element, you need to include the "xi" namespace in the
<rfc> element; that is, you need to specify
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
as one of the attributes in the <rfc> element.
The most common way to use <xi:include> is to pull in references that
are already formed as XML. This can be done from bib.ietf.org. For
example, if a document has three normative references, all RFCs, the
document might contain:
<references>
<xi:include href="http://bib.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml/reference.RFC.2119.xml"/>
<xi:include href="http://bib.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml/reference.RFC.4869.xml"/>
<xi:include href="http://bib.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml/reference.RFC.7169.xml"/>
</references>
<xi:include> can be used anywhere an XML element could be used (but
not where free text is used). For example, if three Internet-Drafts
are all including a particular paragraph or section verbatim, that
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 104]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
text can be kept either in a file or somewhere on the web and can be
included with <xi:include>. An example of pulling something from the
local disk would be:
<xi:include href="file://home/chris/ietf/drafts/commontext.xml"/>
In general, XInclude should be used instead of ENTITY references and
XML Processing Instructions (PIs) that allow external inclusions.
B.2. Anchors and IDs
People writing and reading Internet-Drafts and RFCs often want to
make reference to specific locations in those documents. In the case
of RFC authors, it is common to want to reference another part of
their document, such as "see Section 3.2 of this document." Readers,
on the other hand, want to reference parts of documents that they
didn't write, such as "see Section 3.2 of RFC 6949." The XML
vocabulary in this document attempts to support both sets of people.
Authors can leave anchors in a document that can later be used for
references with the "anchor" attribute. Anchors can be included in
the numerous elements. The author can then refer to that anchor in
the "target" attribute of the <xref> element.
Readers can refer to any element that has an "anchor" attribute by
that attribute. Note, however, that most of the time, elements won't
have anchors. In the common case, the reader wants to refer to an
element that does not have an "anchor" attribute, but that element
has a "pn" attribute.
Processing tools add the "pn" attribute to many elements during
processing. This attribute and its value are automatically generated
by the tool if the attribute is not there; if the attribute is
already there, the tool may replace the value.
B.2.1. Overlapping Values
In the HTML representation of this XML vocabulary, both anchors and
"pn" attributes will be used in the "id" attributes of elements.
Thus, there can be no overlap between the names entered in "anchor"
attributes, in "slugifiedName" attributes, and those that are
generated for the "pn" attributes. Also, there are some values for
the "anchor" values that are reserved for sections, and those
sections can only have those anchor values.
The following rules prevent this overlap:
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 105]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
* "pn" for regular sections always has the format "s-nnn", where
"nnn" is the section number, or the appendix identifier (which
starts with a letter). For example, this would be "s-2.1.3" for
Section 2.1.3 and "s-a" for Appendix A. For the <abstract>
element, it is always "s-abstract". For the <note> element, it is
always "s-note-nnn", where "nnn" is a sequential value. For
sections in the <boilerplate> element, it is always "s-
boilerplate-nnn", where "nnn" is a sequential value.
* "pn" for <references> elements has the format "s-nnn". It is
important to note that "nnn" is a number, not letters, even though
the <references> appear in the back. It is the number that is one
higher than the highest top-level section number in <middle>. If
there are two or more <references>, "nnn" will include a dot as if
the <references> are a subsection of a section that is numbered
one higher than the highest top-level section number in <middle>.
* "pn" for <figure> elements always has the format "f-nnn", where
"nnn" is the figure number. For example, this would be "f-5" for
Figure 5.
* "pn" for <iref> elements always has the format "i-ttt-nnn", where
"ttt" is the slugified item (plus a hyphen and the slugified
subitem if there is a subitem), and "nnn" is the instance of that
item/subitem pair. For example, this would be "i-foo-1" for
"<iref item='foo'>" and "i-foo-bar-1" for "<iref item='foo'
subitem='bar'>".
* "pn" for <table> elements always has the format "t-nnn", where
"nnn" is the table number. For example, this would be "t-5" for
Table 5.
* "pn" for all elements not listed above always has the format "p-
nnn-mmm", where "nnn" is the section number and "mmm" is the
relative position in the section. For example, this would be
"p-2.1.3-7" for the seventh part number in Section 2.1.3.
* "slugifiedName" was supposed to have the format "n-ttt", where
"ttt" is the text of the name after slugification, but was
implemented as "name-ttt". For example, this would be "n-
protocol-overview" or "name-protocol-overview" for the name
"Protocol Overview". The actual conversions done in slugification
will be specified at a later time.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 106]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
* Anchors must never overlap with any of the above. The easiest way
to assure that is to not pick an anchor name that starts with a
single letter followed by a hyphen. If an anchor does overlap
with one of the types of names above, the processing tool will
reject the document.
B.3. Attributes Controlled by the Prep Tool
Many elements in the v3 vocabulary have new attributes whose role is
to hold values generated by the prep tool. These attributes can
exist in documents that are input to the prep tool; however, any of
these attributes might be added, removed, or changed by the prep
tool. Thus, it is explicitly unsafe for a document author to include
these attributes and expect that their values will survive processing
by the prep tool.
The attributes that are controlled by the prep tool are:
* The "pn" attribute -- The number for this item within the section.
The numbering is shared with other elements of a section. The
"pn" attribute is added to these elements: <abstract>, <artset>,
<artwork>, <aside>, <blockquote>, <dd>, <dl>, <dt>, <figure>,
<iref>, <li>, <list>, <note>, <ol>, <references>, <section>,
<sourcecode>, <t>, <table>, <u>, and <ul> .
* originalSrc -- This attribute is filled with the original value of
the "src" attribute if that attribute is removed by the prep tool
in <artwork>, <figure>, and <sourcecode>.
* <name> "slugifiedName" attribute -- This attribute is filled with
a "slugified" version of the text in the element. This attribute
can be used in the output formats for elements that have both
names and numbers.
* "derivedLink" attribute -- This attribute is filled with the link
that is derived from combining the URI from the reference and the
relative part that is either a copy of the "relative" attribute or
a section number derived from the "section" attribute. This
attribute is added to <relref> and <xref>.
* <rfc> "expiresDate" attribute -- This attribute is filled with the
date that an Internet-Draft expires. The date is in the format
yyyy-mm-dd.
* <rfc> "mode" attribute -- This attribute is filled with a string
that indicates what mode the prep tool was in when it processed
the XML, such as whether it was processing a file to become an
Internet-Draft or an RFC.
Levine & Hoffman Expires 4 September 2024 [Page 107]
Internet-Draft Xml2rfc V3 as Implemented March 2024
* "scripts" attribute -- This attribute in the <rfc> element is
filled with a list of scripts needed to render this document. The
list is comma-separated, with no spaces allowed. The order is
unimportant. The names come from [UAX24]. For example, if the
document has Chinese characters in it, the value might be
"Common,Latin,Han".
* "derivedContent" attribute -- This attribute is filled in if there
is no content in the <xref> or <relref> element. The value for
this attribute is based on the value in the "displayFormat"
attribute. Examples of how this value is filled can be found in
Section 3.66.1.
* "derivedAnchor" attribute -- This attribute in an <xref> element
is filled in with the display anchor from the corresponding
<displayreference> element. If there is no <displayreference>,
this attribute is a copy of the "anchor" attribute.
* "derivedCounter" -- This attribute in a <li> element in an ordered
list is filled in with the item number in the list.
In addition, note that the contents of the <boilerplate> element are
controlled by the prep tool.
