       Status:     Informational
       Date:       1 April 2001

Approximately 212 RFCs so far, starting with RFC 269, contain the
terms `foo', `bar', or `foobar' as metasyntactic variables without any
proper explanation or definition.  This document rectifies that
deficiency.

This memo provides information for the Internet community.  It does
not specify an Internet standard of any kind.  Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
