Bob,

I think the intent of Iljitsch's note was that the "list of IETF
Standards" should appear in an obvious place (labeled "IETF
Standards") on http://www.ietf.org/ - if the label points to
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc.html, that's fine.

... leaving the question of "what standards" are actually standards,
and what standards are actually deployed, to NEWTRK :-)

But you guys are doing your part - the IETF website just needs to
catch up...
