i've index RFCs in various different ways
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcietff.htm
some RFCs are also STDs ... i.e. the protocol (and other) standards
for internet operation
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcstd.htm#stand
and
http://www.galric.com/~lynn/rfcdoc.htm#STDdoc
there is also defined process that proposed/pending standards go thru
... first (RFCs) as proposed standards
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcstd.htm#prop
and then progress to draft standards
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcstd.htm#draf
before moving on to full standards.
there are numerious other RFCs that are classified as informational
(some giving design intent) or experimental. Then there are some
number of RFCs that are classified as historical and/or obsolete.
then there is a whole process involving internet-drafts ... documents
that haven't yet reached RFC status. i.e.
http://www.ietf.org/ID.html
