 By allowing for multiple Publication formats, readers can choose a format that works best for their circumstances.  The Text and PDF will be extremely basic and support the widest array of tools.  The HTML will allow more features and be readable by modern browsers. By allowing for multiple Publication formats, readers can choose a format that works best for their circumstances.  The Text and PDF will be extremely basic and support the widest array of tools.  The HTML will allow more features and be readable by modern browsers.
  
-Over the past few months, the [[design:design-team|RFC Format Design Team]], formed in Berlin, has discussed the more detailed requirements for the XML Canonical format as well as the requirements of the different Publication formats and their associated character encoding.  The results of that discussion, including documentation on items discussed but decided against as requirements, are documented in the pages below.+Over the past two years, the [[design:design-team|RFC Format Design Team]], formed during IETF 87, has discussed the more detailed requirements for the XML Canonical format as well as the requirements of the different Publication formats and their associated character encoding.  The results of that discussion, including documentation on items discussed but decided against as requirements, are documented in this wiki.

 +==== Reading list ==== 
 +The RFC Format is a large project that has required several documents to capture the requirements found in each aspect of the work. The documents depend on each other, and are moving through the community review and publication process as a set to help keep those relationships intact. Several documents require understanding a separate document for full comprehension of the material. 
 + 
 +Below is the suggested reading order for the drafts that describe the new RFC format requirements. The design team has done a great job in pulling all fo this together, and many members of the community have reviewed these in parts and offered targeted feedback. Please take this time to review the drafts as a compendium, and then review the Statements of Work that describe the programming effort that will depend on these drafts as their requirements.
