My drive I: (*nix folks: don't ask) is almost always a CD/ROM
with RfCs, directory I:\DOKU\RFC (next after I:\DOKU\POSTEL):
In this directory I find three PDFs (2616, 2636, and 2638) and
42 PS (1989-09-26: 1119 up to 1999-09-27: 2638 again). If I
remove 2490, 2616, 2636, and 2638 I end up with 38 PS published
before 1998.

P.S.: Nothing's wrong with "fan sites" for RfCs, where you can
offer examples, sources, diagrams, FAQ, RSS, Wiki, and what else,
but the "essence" as a plain text RfC is IMO _the_ RfC feature.
