<p>Regardless of what modules are compiled and used, Apache as a
basic web server complies with the following IETF recommendations:</p>

<dd>A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact string of
characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource.</dd>

<dd>The TLS protocol provides communications security over the
Internet. It provides encryption, and is designed to prevent
eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.</dd>
</dl>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="html_recommendations" id="html_recommendations">HTML Recommendations</a></h2>
<p>Regarding the Hypertext Markup Language, Apache complies with
the following IETF and W3C recommendations:</p>

<dd>This document summarizes the history of HTML development,
W3C recommendations.</dd>
</dt>
<dd>This specification defines the HyperText Markup Language (HTML),
the publishing language of the World Wide Web. This specification
defines HTML 4.01, which is a subversion of HTML 4.</dd>
Specification</a></dt>
<dd>The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a simple markup language
used to create hypertext documents that are portable from one
platform to another. HTML documents are SGML documents.</dd>
Module-based XHTML</a>
</dt>
<dd>This Recommendation defines a new XHTML document type
that is based upon the module framework and modules defined in
Modularization of XHTML.</dd>
Extensible HyperText Markup Language (Second Edition)</a>
</dt>
<dd>This specification defines the Second Edition of XHTML 1.0,
a reformulation of HTML 4 as an XML 1.0 application, and three
DTDs corresponding to the ones defined by HTML 4.</dd>

<p>The following links document ISO and other language and country
code information:</p>
<dl>
<dd>ISO 639 provides two sets of language codes, one as a two-letter
code set (639-1) and another as a three-letter code set (this part
of ISO 639) for the representation of names of languages.</dd>
ISO 3166-1</a></dt>
<dd>These pages document the country names (official short names
in English) in alphabetical order as given in ISO 3166-1 and the
corresponding ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code elements.</dd>
(Best Current Practice),
<dd>This document describes a language tag for use in cases where
it is desired to indicate the language used in an information
object, how to register values for use in this language tag,
and a construct for matching such language tags.</dd>
(Standards Track)</dt>
<dd>This document defines a "Content-language:" header, for use in
cases where one desires to indicate the language of something that
has RFC 822-like headers, like MIME body parts or Web documents,
and an "Accept-Language:" header for use in cases where one wishes
to indicate one's preferences with regard to language.</dd>
