Actually if you knew what it meant but weren't that familiar with the place
of an RFC(someone who's read 2 specs or something) you would assume IMHO
that an "Internet Standard" is NOT a "request for comments".

It's not hard to find, actually. Try:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc.html
Seems to me one needs to know a lot about the differences between
what's hosted by the IETF and the RFC Editor sites in order to know
that for the material in question the user needs to go to the RFC
Editor site (and then on to the "RFC Database" rather than any of the
other options).
Actually, there is a link on the IETF home page to "RFC Pages", so it sems
that one would really only need to be familiar w/the "RFC" acronym.
Is that too much to ask?
