Steve: > Every so often someone suggests RFCs are not first class > documents and hence not comparable to, say, "real" > standards documents. Getting traditional identifiers attached > to them might squelch some of this nonsense. I have the impression that we would be pioneering the use of an ISSN to identify a standards' series, if we choose to do this. The "real" standards from other organizations seem to be identified with individual ISBNs. Would the purveyors of nonsense be squelched by an ISSN, or emboldened? Some might cite our decision as yet another example of the IETF doing something different and 'non-standard'. Marshall, to your point: > It is easy to find RFC's now, but it may not be in a century. > > This may seem silly, but I think that RFCs will still > have relevance in a century and, having experience > searching for 100+ year old astronomical publications > and data, in my opinion, RFC's need to be cataloged in > libraries. > > Libraries have running code for the maintenance of > intellectual property over centuries; the IETF does not. I agree with you 100%. I think this is indeed a tangible and desirable objective.
