Subject: [rfc-i] An update to subseries references
Precedence: list

Hi all,

The RPC is updating the style for subseries references by adding 
introductory text to the reference and also adding DOIs and links for 
RFCs listed for the subseries. Note that we are adding "At the time of 
writing" because the RFCs within a subseries can change over time.
We have opened an xml2rfc feature request:
https://github.com/ietf-tools/xml2rfc/issues/1100

An example of a single-RFC subseries reference:

OLD:

    [STD72]    Gellens, R. and J. Klensin, "Message Submission for Mail",
               STD 72, RFC 6409, November 2011.

               <https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/std72>

NEW:

    [STD72]    Internet Standard 72,
               <https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/std/std72>.
               At the time of writing, this STD comprises the following:

               Gellens, R. and J. Klensin, "Message Submission for Mail",
               STD 72, RFC 6409, DOI 10.17487/RFC6409, November 2011,
               <https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc6409>.


An example of a multiple-RFC subseries reference:

OLD:

               STD 69, RFC 5730, August 2009.

               Hollenbeck, S., "Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
               Domain Name Mapping", STD 69, RFC 5731, August 2009.

               Hollenbeck, S., "Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)

               Hollenbeck, S., "Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
