The numbering is problematic for many reasons, people have difficulty

STD23 does not do it for me
I agree. Note that there are quite a number of mnemonics assigned in
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcxx00.html#STDbySTD.
If you want to introduce an alternative identifier that people are likely
to use use something of the form IETF-SMTP-2008
Not bad.
