Get used to using Internet standards. There are two primary sources for Internet standards, the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), and the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). The IETF provides the low-level standards for the Internet as a series of RFC (Requests for Comments). The W3C provides the high-level standards as a series of Recommendations. There are several other standards bodies that have useful standards such as the ISO (International Standards Organization) and ECMA.

There are some standards that Xoc Software references much more than others. These are listed below:
