XDR is an IETF standards track RFC (4506) and STD (67).  Modifications
to XDR must be submitted to the IETF for standardization.  The process
for defining new types is specified in RFC 4506.  It requires a
standards track RFC that replaces 4506.

Any work to update 4506 should be performed in conjunction with the
NFSv4 working group.
