On a side note: If we want something URN-like that actually has
traction outside the IETF, DOIs seem like the right approach. See 
http://www.doi.org/
 Articles in our closest technical disciplines, namely those
published by ACM and IEEE, already have DOIs, both for journal and
conference articles.


Note that

    DOI is a registered URI within the info-URI namespace (IETF RFC  
4452, the "info" URI Scheme for Information
    Assets with Identifiers in Public Namespaces). Further information  
is available at http://info-uri.info.

These are not free; if we got DOI's for all RFCs through, e.g.,  
Bowker, it would cost

    Up to 9999 DOIs - $1500 per year

I think it would be a good idea. A $ 1 increase in registration fees  
would more than pay for it.

This is obviously completely orthogonal to the ISSN issue.
