`Key to Document Status Codes
`Work in Process An incomplete document, designed to guide discussion and
`generate feedback, that may include several alternative re-
`quirements for consideration.
`
`Draft
`
`Interim
`
`A document in specification format considered largely complete,
`but lacking review by MCNS and vendors. Drafts are suscepti-
`ble to substantial change during the review process.
`
`A document which has undergone rigorous MCNS and vendor
`review, suitable for use by vendors to design in conformance
`with, and suitable for field testing.
`
`Released
`
`A stable document, reviewed, tested and validated, suitable to
`enable cross-vendor interoperability.
