It's not just that.  A little poking around in the ACM DL reveals that
they don't have any RFCs published after May 2004.  It looks like
someone did a one time data dump, and nothing since.  It's also fairly
annoying that if you aren't a subscriber, they want you to pay $15
before they'll give you a URL, but I suppose their funding has to come
from somewhere.

In IEEE Xplore, I can't find any RFCs at all, no matter how I search
for them.  Search for "Transmission Control Protocol" and you'll find
lots of articles but no RFCs.

R's,
John
