2. Terminology and Conventions

   This section details terms and conventions used in this document.

2.1. Policy Terminology

   The terms "IESG Approval", "Standards Action", "IETF Consensus",
   "Specification Required", "First Come First Served", "Expert Review",
   and "Private Use" are used as defined in BCP 26 [RFC 2434].

2.2. Requirement Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC 2119].  In
   this case, "the specification" as used by BCP 14 refers to the
   processing of protocols being submitted to the IETF standards
   process.

2.3. Common ABNF Productions

   A number of syntaxes in this document are described using ABNF
   [RFC 2234].  These syntaxes rely on the following common productions:

      ALPHA = %x41-5A / %x61-7A    ; A-Z / a-z

      LDIGIT = %x31-39             ; 1-9

      DIGIT = %x30 / LDIGIT        ; 0-9

      HYPHEN = %x2D                ; "-"

      DOT = %x2E                   ; "."

      number = DIGIT / ( LDIGIT 1*DIGIT )

      keychar = ALPHA / DIGIT / HYPHEN

      leadkeychar = ALPHA

      keystring = leadkeychar *keychar

   A keyword is a case-insensitive string of UTF-8 [RFC 2279] encoded
   characters from the Universal Character Set (UCS) [ISO10646]
   restricted to the  production.
