STDs are labels of existing standard RFCs which go through
the usual procedure.
But, neither I was aware that there was ever an I-D and/or a
last call for RFC-2600 or RFC-2700.
Anyway, is it possible to declare (by whoever)
the http://www.iana.org/numbers.htm as STD-2? Or, perhaps a
mini RFC as STD-2 that informs where to get the current
numbers?
The procedure would generally be to update RFC1700,
resubmit it, and _then_ have STD-2 point to that new RFC.
(something IANA would do)
I believe this is a problem. Accurate information exists,
but it can not be published because it is not in a
traditional RFC format :-(.
As far as I know, the recent status is supposed to be
at the top of the RFC.
As to where to get them, that's already in rfc-index.txt
(which is in the same directory as the RFCs):
Unfortunately, it is not so obvious (especially for the one who
has no idea about the RFC-Editor mechanism) that rfc-index.txt
exists.
