The Secret Tech Advisory Board (STAB) Jonathon Oscerf Request for Comments: 9001 June 2025 Category: Disinformational USSN 0867-5309 The Unspecified Language Abstract The Unspecified Language is a language that has no specification. Since this document is a specification, by definition of the Unspecified Language, the language specified here is actually not the Unspecified Language, but it should approximate the what we believe is the Unspecified Language. 1. Introduction The Unspecified Language (UL) was discovered in a Teams chatroom when examining the most used programming languages determined through analytics from a vendored LLM assistant tool. A staggering 3.6k lines of UL had been written, beating out HTML and TSX. This was surprising as this Teams chatroom was for a web-dev shop. 1.1. Conventions Used in This Document The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document SHALL be RECOMMENDED to be REQUIRED to be interpreted as you SHOULD see fit, but it MAY be OPTIONAL if you MUST. 2. Possible Schemes 2.1. LLM Response An LLM was queried on its knowledge of UL. Its response was as follows: --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Unavailable: Encountered error from model provider: an internal error occurred: (ID: 2d56cc831048f831c930cafedead45ae) --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- 2.2. Header Format The following table describes the header format for UL files: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | W h o R e a l l y K n o w s | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | S t i l l D o n ' t K n o w | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |B y t e O r d e r M a r k ( Y e s , a t b y t e 9 )| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Despite the BOM, we recommend that UL files be UTF-8 encoded.
