As we hurtle (we hope) towards publication of the bis document,
it's a good idea to take a look at the just-published RFC Editor
style guide and make sure that the document is in alignment with
it.  Content is the core question but documents get hung up on
formal nits more often than they should.

Greetings,

Please review the complete set of style guidelines impacting the RFC
series that is available here:

With the publication of the new RFC Style Guide, the RFC Editor will

documents currently in process, including those in AUTH48.  The
documents will be updated and authors will be notified of that the
updates are ready for review.  Please be sure to review the udpates
carefully.

Thank you,
RFC Editor Team
