- The guide lists 140 rules and marks some conventions as open or not yet settled.
Field notes
The guide organizes the specification into numbered sections covering layout, text, lists, tables, and document-level choices. Its examples use a public-domain 2020 IRS Form 1040 to show expected output for five decisions, including grouped boxes and margin notes. The page labels the project “Working draft 0.1”; some conventions are marked open or not yet settled, so the RFC is still evolving.
