I note that the list of RFC includes RFC 1263, "TCP Extensions Considered Harmful." The purpose of the draft is to make some extensions historic. Since RFC 1263 does not define any particular extension, I don't see the point of including it. RFC 1263 is an informational RFC. It provides advice on protocol design, and that advice appears to be just as informational now as it was then. I don't see why we should reclassify it.
