That's very interesting. I've produced a number of RFCs over the years that reference US-ASCII and, since I had no idea that RFC 20 existed (it wasn't even on line when I started), I've always used the following reference. No one ever pointed out RFC 20 to me... ANSI, "USA Standard Code for Information Interchange", X3.4, American National Standards Institute: New York, 1968.
