Hardly seems worth the effort. Of the 5092 RFCs published, just 67 are Full Standards.
The real issue is not "STANDARDs", but "standards". The great majority of today's operational Internet protocol standards have status (category) PROPOSED STANDARD or DRAFT STANDARD. But they are in fact standards for the Internet. I believe that we need a naming/numbering system for standards, independent of the numbering system we have for documents. See http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcxx00.html, in case you are unfamiliar with past efforts to solve this problem: STDs.
