Either works for me; some folks obviously prefer the expanded reference 
version. Since the data for the RFCs themselves is static, I see no harm 
in going with the expanded version.

RFC 2026 refers to these as "subseries". Perhaps "bibxml-rfcsubseries"?

Or that. There are few enough of them that a single directory is not 
unreasonable, but overall I'd say "implementer's choice."

Which does say, "The FYI numbers continue to provide reference points 
for these documents, and the FYI number can be used in citations to 
these documents", so it's probably reasonable to have the entries for 
them.
