Note that

    DOI is a registered URI within the info-URI namespace (IETF RFC  
4452, the "info" URI Scheme for Information
    Assets with Identifiers in Public Namespaces). Further information  
is available at http://info-uri.info.

These are not free; if we got DOI's for all RFCs through, e.g.,  
Bowker, it would cost

    Up to 9999 DOIs - $1500 per year

I think it would be a good idea. A $ 1 increase in registration fees  
would more than pay for it.
