Whatever was used, once you wrote the code, wouldn't it make sense to
publish where/how lookups should happen?  Has this been done?


And no matter how opaque the DOI series identifiers are in general, there's
still nothing that prevents the RFC Editor from _having_ a defined mapping
from RFC numbers to DOI and vice versa, if a decision is made that this
would be helpful, right?
