The F2 development standard will continuously evolve to bring the community the best features, services and apps. F2’s promise is to do this by building on the existing spec, not by changing it. The specification aims high to solve many problems and suit many needs. As the standard evolves and new requirements come to light, the functionality in F2 will expand accordingly.

The keywords “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this spec are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. For readability, these words often do not appear in all uppercase letters.
