	Title		: Author Guidelines for RMT Building Blocks and Protocol
                          Instantiation documents
	Author(s)	: R. Kermode, L. Vicisano
	Filename	: draft-ietf-rmt-author-guidelines-03.txt
	Pages		: 13
	Date		: 16-Jan-02
	
This document provides general guidelines to assist the authors of
reliable multicast transport (RMT) building block and protocol
instantiation definitions. The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure
that any building block and protocol instantiation definitions produced
contain sufficient information to fully explain their operation and use.
In addition these guidelines provide directions to specify modular and
clearly defined RMT building blocks and protocol instantiations that can
be refined and augmented to safely create new protocols for use in new
scenarios for which any existing protocols were not designed.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
