Does anybody have statistics on how effective RFC2350 (Expectations
for Computer Security Incident Response) was?  Or RFC2502 (Anti-Spam
Recommendations for SMTP MTAs)? Or RFC2644 ( Changing the Default for
Directed Broadcasts in Routers)?  It would seem reasonable that moving
2267 to BCP should have a similar effectiveness...

Well....  2267 is addressed more towards ISPs, and while there are certainly 
clueless ISPs out there, I suspect that on the average they're more clueful 
about the net than the typical end site.  (Obviously, there are exceptions in 
both categories; I did say *average*.)
