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
