How is the internet standardized and documented?
The open spirit of the internet comes through clearly in the way that it is documented. Internet standards have been distributed through a series of RFC, or &quot;Requests for Comment&quot;. Rather than being a dictate, or mandate, RFCs engage the community in a constructive discussion about how things should work and invite comment and collaboration.
