That's probably because RFC 2549 was the transitional document.

It seems to me that one of the issues here is that architecture models are 
published as Informational when they're clearly not in the same level of 
authority as most Informational RFCs. An architecture document is meant to 
guide future work on standards track RFCs, and has been regarded 
historically as more or less binding.

The easy fix is to create an "Architectural" category within the standards 
track. There's obviously a big difference between RFC 2475 and IP for Avian 
Carriers.


But not so obvious between 'IP for Avian Carriers' and RFC4838...  :)
