Blocks[1] is an architecture for managing metadata. The architecture
supports two models: the Blocks exchange model organizes information
into navigation spaces, whilst the Blocks convergence model allows
for bulk synchronization and knowledge management.
This memo describes the Simple Exchange Profile (SEP) used to
exchange objects, termed blocks, residing in an SEP datastore.

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.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
