Abstract
This document defines the syntax as well as the semantics of the
information to be included in the phone book for roaming
applications. It comprises the information necessary to select the
most appropriate ISP and to configure the host to get access to the
network of the provider. The specification consists of a small set of
required information elements and a variety of possible extensions.
All data is specified in XML [5] (Extensible Markup Language) syntax
leading to a concise XML DTD (Document Type Declaration) for the
phone book.
