+   We RECOMMEND that "Working Draft" be used for IETF stream Internet-
+   Drafts that have expired and are no longer part of an active IETF
+   initiative.  A good sign of such cases is when a newer draft has been
+   released or a draft has been expired for over a year.  For all other
+   publishing streams, we RECOMMEND that "Working Draft" be used to
+   characterize all Internet-Drafts.
+If a specific version of the I-D is being referenced, reference should also include the full file name in order to capture the revision number.
