> While IETF has a formal standardized language to describe grammars
> (ABNF, in RFC 4234), it has no language to describe state machines,
> leaving authors to use tables or list of transitions or ASCII-art
> (which leads some people to ask for a "richer" format for RFCs).

> I believe it would be a good idea to have such a language (see
> http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg42592.html for a
> rationale) so I wrote an Internet-draft
> (draft-bortzmeyer-language-state-machines-01.txt) describing a
> candidate, Cosmogol (further documented in http://www.cosmogol.fr/).

> There is now a mailing list, to see if there is sufficient interest
> for the IETF to go on, have a BoF in Prague, may be create a Working
> Group, etc:
