It deserves top ranking on search engines; knowing that the IETF is a 
place to look for Internet standards is as obscure as knowing that 
they're a subset of something called "RFCs".

FWIW, Google gave the IETF as the top-ranked item of a search of 
"Internet standards", but the RFC Editor site, as well as other lists of 
STDs, is in the top 10 replies there.
