RFC 2648           A URN Namespace for IETF Documents        August 1999


      Registration Information:

            Registration version number: 1
            Registration date: 1999-04-22

      Declared registrant of the namespace:

            Ryan Moats
            
            AT&T
            15621 Drexel Circle
            Omaha, NE 68135-2358

      Declaration of structure:

            The identifier has the following ABNF [2] specification:

            NSS = rfc-nss / fyi-nss / std-nss / bcp-nss /
                  draft-nss / mtg-nss / other-nss

            rfc-nss = "rfc:" 1*DIGIT
            fyi-nss = "fyi:" 1*DIGIT
            std-nss = "std:" 1*DIGIT
            bcp-nss = "bcp:" 1*DIGIT
            draft-nss = "id:" string
            mtg-nss = "mtg:" string
            other-nss = string
              ; beginning with a prefix other than one of those
              ; above for future expansion

            string = 1*(DIGIT / ALPHA / "-")

            If the IESG (or it successor) adds a new document series,
            this ABNF specification will need to be updated.  Further,
            if a working group or BOF is created that used characters
            outside the range of this ABNF specification, this
            specification will need to be updated.  Any system intended
            to resolve names for this namespace should be written with
            the awareness that this could occur at any time.
