2. Terminology and Conventions
This section details terms and conventions used in this document.
2.1. Policy Terminology
The terms "IESG Approval", "Standards Action", "IETF Consensus",
"Specification Required", "First Come First Served", "Expert Review",
and "Private Use" are used as defined in BCP 26 [RFC 2434].
2.2. Requirement Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC 2119]. In
this case, "the specification" as used by BCP 14 refers to the

2.3. Common ABNF Productions
A number of syntaxes in this document are described using ABNF
[RFC 2234]. These syntaxes rely on the following common productions:
ALPHA = %x41-5A / %x61-7A ; A-Z / a-z
LDIGIT = %x31-39 ; 1-9
DIGIT = %x30 / LDIGIT ; 0-9
HYPHEN = %x2D ; "-"
DOT = %x2E ; "."
number = DIGIT / ( LDIGIT 1*DIGIT )
keychar = ALPHA / DIGIT / HYPHEN
leadkeychar = ALPHA
keystring = leadkeychar *keychar
A keyword is a case-insensitive string of UTF-8 [RFC 2279] encoded
characters from the Universal Character Set (UCS) [ISO10646]
restricted to the production.
