	Title		: The 'doi' URI Scheme for Digital Object Identifier (DOI)

This document defines the 'doi' Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) 
scheme for the Digital Object Identifier (DOI). DOIs are 
identifiers for entities of significance to the intellectual 
property communities. The 'doi' URI scheme allows a resource for 
an entity identified by a DOI to be referenced by a URI for 
Internet applications.  A 'doi' URI is dereferenced to a set of 
network services through an appropriate resolution system. The 
binding between the 'doi' URI and the resource which it references 
is managed and is persistent over time.

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
