This document defines the 'doi' Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) 
scheme for Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). The DOI system was 
developed by the International DOI Foundation (http://www.doi.org), 
an open membership-based organization founded to develop a 
framework of infrastructure, policies and procedures to support the 
identification needs of providers of intellectual property. DOI 
identifiers are persistent across time and unique across network 
space. The 'doi' URI scheme allows a DOI to be referenced by a URI 
for Internet applications.

In the body type:

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
Internet-Draft.
