[Tools-discuss] documents by WG --- RFCs and related documents -- are there APIs

[Michael Richardson <[e-mail]>]

For some years (decades?) I have, like many others, rsync'ed IDs and RFCs to desktop and laptop.
{I remember when the ~1G, now ~5G of space was a huge commitment for disk
sizes of the time}

I run a script on the internet-drafts directory that sorts/hardlinks:
  draft-ietf-foo-bar-00.txt -> ietf/foo/bar-00.txt
  draft-author-foo-bar-00.txt -> ietf/author/foo-bar-00.txt
  (and ditto irtf)
And I tend not to clean the hard links out very often, so I have more history
than perhaps I need.

On WGs that I work a lot with, I often then hard link the RFCxxxx into that directory.
I have in the past suggested that maybe this view could benefit others.

Now I am thinking that I want to automate bring RFCxxxx into each directory.

1. Is there an API that would return a WG's "RFC list"?
2. Is there an API that would return a WG's Related Documents list?

Yes, I can read the DT source code, but asking here would tell me if the API
contract is stable, or if someone is considering changing it.
