1.5 Notation
The following notations are used in this document to differentiate between notes of clarification, variation from the specification, and points of extensibility.
Notation |
Explanation |
---|---|
C#### |
This identifies a clarification of ambiguity in the target specification. This includes imprecise statements, omitted information, discrepancies, and errata. This does not include data formatting clarifications. |
V#### |
This identifies an intended point of variability in the target specification such as the use of MAY, SHOULD, or RECOMMENDED. (See [RFC2119].) This does not include extensibility points. |
E#### |
Because the use of extensibility points (such as optional implementation-specific data) can impair interoperability, this profile identifies such points in the target specification. |
