94 The "Request for Comments" (RFC) document series is the official
95 publication channel for Internet standards documents and other
96 publications of the IESG, IAB, and Internet community. From time to
97 time, and about every six months in the last few years, someone
98 questions the rationality of publishing both Internet standards and
99 informational documents as RFCs. The argument is generally that this
100 introduces some confusion between "real standards" and "mere
101 publications".

114 It is a regrettably well spread misconception that publication as an
115 RFC provides some level of recognition. It does not, or at least not
116 any more than the publication in a regular journal. In fact, each
117 RFC has a status, relative to its relation with the Internet
118 standardization process: Informational, Experimental, or Standards
119 Track (Proposed Standard, Draft Standard, Internet Standard), or
120 Historic. This status is reproduced on the first page of the RFC
121 itself, and is also documented in the periodic "Internet Official
122 Protocols Standards" RFC (STD 1). But this status is sometimes
123 omitted from quotes and references, which may feed the confusion.

143 There are two important sources of information on the status of the
144 Internet standards: they are summarized periodically in an RFC
145 entitled "Internet Official Protocol Standards" and they are
146 documented in the "STD" subseries. When a specification has been
147 adopted as an Internet Standard, it is given the additional label
148 "STD xxxx", but it keeps its RFC number and its place in the RFC
149 series.

242 The IAB believes that the community benefitted significantly from
243 having a single archival document series. Documents are easy to find
244 and to retrieve, and file servers are easy to organize. This has
245 been very important over the long term. Experience of the past shows
246 that subseries, or series of limited scope, tend to vanish from the
247 network. And, there is no evidence that alternate document schemes
248 would result in less confusion.
