If I had to provide a pointer, I would probably use:
	http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc.html
It is better organized and it provides more information than 
	http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html
I would actually like to point to the IETF site for Internet Standards.
The IETF RFC page would be my first choice if it included a bit more
text to explain what an RFC is, and a pointer to the list of standards
maintains by the RFC editor.
