I suppose we could put "don't index me" tags into the HTML and edit them 
out on the copies on the rfc-editor web site but that seems too fragile.

The normal way you get high in the search rankings is to have high quality 
links pointing at them.  If all of the places in the datatracker and the 
other IETF web sites pointed at the copies RFCs on the rfc-editor web site 
rather than at other places that would help but that also doesn't seem 
likely.
