salty-ircd aims to be fully compliant with the IRC RFCs, specifically [RFC 1459](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1459), [RFC 2811](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2811), [RFC 2812](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812), and [RFC 2813](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2813) (planned).
Newer RFCs take precedence over older RFCs. Errata are respected by default, with newer errata (on the same RFC) taking precedence over older errata.
