We have RFC version zero we may need a new version. We can re-structure
the RFC-number so we can say Area (A one digit), WG (WW two digits). The
RFC numbers in digits meaning (1AWWSS). This structure type is 1 (or
version 1), our current structure with no meaning can have type 0.
[Hosnieh] Interesting idea :-). Probably worth to discuss in rfc-interest
list(?!). Because at the moment when someone talk about RFC number and if
you didn't want to use it, you don't know which area it is related to
unless you check everything on the internet. Sometimes the titles are not
also good chosen and so general and one need to review the abstract and
sometimes introduction so that he/she understands what area it is related
to.
Only one doubt: are enough two digits for the working group? This means
100 WG maximum, unless the area acts as a "namespace" for the WG (so that
112300 and 122300 are from two differents WG). Even in the latter case you
would have 100 WG per area, how much time this will last.
Furthermore, within meetings/on-list of a WG we don't need to refer
WG-RFC with large numbers but just say in speech our SS numbers for the WG,
but when writing within draft we need to reference full number of RFC1AWWSS
or RFC02460 or RFC01.
Best,
