This document describes the information to be included in the standard
phone book for roaming applications.  All data is described in XML [5]
(Extensible Markup Language) syntax leading to a concise XML DTD
(Document Type Declaration) for the phone book.  Goals of this document
include:
 
   - Creating a flexible, extensible and robust framework
     upon which to build a standard phone book
   - Promoting a standard phone book format, to enhance
     interoperability between ISPs and roaming consortia
 
Non-goals of this document include:
 
   - Attempting to create a 'Swiss army knife', with phone
     book elements to please everyone on Earth
   - Definition of either server-server or client-server
     phone book update or transfer protocols

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
Internet-Draft.
