RFC 1543 <http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc1543.txt>

but you need to keep in mind that what you are producing is an
Internet-Draft -- it should contain no mention of being a "standard"
or "RFC".  You can get the Internet-Draft guidelines at .... uhh...
crikey, it appears to have disappeared from the IETF sites.
Anyway, the guidelines used to be in a file at:

   <ftp://ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/internet-drafts/1id-guidelines.txt>

There are also a few templates:

   <ftp://ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/internet-drafts/2-latex.template>
   <ftp://ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/internet-drafts/2-nroff.template>
   <ftp://ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/internet-drafts/2-scribe.template>

All of the above is also at <http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-drafts>

An example of a correctly formatted draft is at

ftp://ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-uri-relative-url-00.txt
