I think you'd find that it's always reserved for listing purposes and
not for standards themselves.  Thus:

#  rfcfind -n 3.00
3000 Internet Official Protocol Standards. J. Reynolds, R. Braden, S.
     Ginoza, L. Shiota. November 2001. (Format: TXT=115207 bytes)
     (Obsoletes RFC2900) (Obsoleted by RFC3300) (Status: STANDARD)

3100 Not Issued.

3200 Not Issued.

3300 Internet Official Protocol Standards. J. Reynolds, R. Braden, S.
     Ginoza, A. De La Cruz. November 2002. (Format: TXT=127805 bytes)
     (Obsoletes RFC3000) (Obsoleted by RFC3600) (Status: STANDARD)

3400 Not Issued.

3500 Not Issued.

3600 Internet Official Protocol Standards. J. Reynolds, Ed., S.
     Ginoza, Ed.. November 2003. (Format: TXT=134338 bytes) (Obsoletes
     RFC3300) (Obsoleted by RFC3700) (Also STD0001) (Status: STANDARD)

3700 Internet Official Protocol Standards. J. Reynolds, Ed., S.
     Ginoza, Ed.. July 2004. (Format: TXT=148273 bytes) (Obsoletes
     RFC3600) (Also STD0001) (Status: STANDARD)

So if you want to look for something new in the 4000+ range, look at
4001 as being special.
