I disagree.  We have had this conversation elsewhere and internet-drafts 
make a horrible way of memorializing anything, even if old ones can be 
found on our sites.  They can lead to confusion when used with IANA 
registries, especially if updates are later made.

That being said, not every allocation needs to be documented by an RFC, 
but every allocation that requires a specification should use a stable 
reference that we have some confidence will not change.
