Place one of these files onto a website and advertise it's locations to others.
User Agent programs should be able to add it to their list of Directory files.

Let's look at these attributes and elements in more detail.
- REGISTRIES: the envelope node.
- REGISTRY: Really, this should be thought of as a Rule Set,
since it includes the name of the registry and the effective date of the file.
Old versions of Rule Set files may be kept to open up old courses.
- NAME: The name of the registry, followed by its initials, enclosed in parenthesis.
- DATE: The effective date of this set of rules.
- FILE: Path to the RRS file.
Any images should be located by opening the RRS file and reading the contents of the <SIGN_LOCATION> node.
The path to the images is the path to this file, followed by SIGN_LOCATION, followed by the inner text of the IMAGE_FILENAME
element for that sign.
