          draft-amsuess-core-resource-directory-extensions-04

Abstract

   A collection of extensions to the Resource Directory

1.  Introduction

   This document pools some extensions to the Resource Directory
   [I-D.ietf-core-resource-directory] that might be useful but have no
   place in the original document.

   They might become individual documents for IETF submission, simple
   registrations in the RD Parameter Registry at IANA, or grow into a
   shape where they can be submitted as a collection of tools.

   At its current state, this draft is a collection of ideas.
