[Soapbox warning]
I love it! Finally a use for Informational RFC's that I get: Let's turn
Wikipedia pages into RFC's!

Wikipedia has .. stable URLs, which makes it on par or better than
other external references.
That's a sad truth - I find link-rot is an incredible problem with references
when I'm looking at older material; stuff seems to go offline all the time,
even valuable material. The company decides to redo their website, or someone
moves to a new organization, or, or, or...
The IETF probably should archive any material used as a reference in an RFC,
at the time the RFC is published. I do not believe that this would cause
copyright issues (note : IANAL), but making that archive publicly available
might. Maybe we could do something there in connection with the Internet
Archive.
