Subject: Renaming RFC
RFC should be renamed to Resulted From Comments. It's now the endpoint
of the process; Request For Comments dated from when it was the start.
Fundamentally disagree.
Some SDOs produce standards as tablets of stone, and the world at large
is not even allowed to read them.
The IETF says this is the best we can do, can you help us make it
better, by making a request for comments. For me, this is the reason
why the IETF succeeds, because it looks to engage the whole world, to do
yet better.

(Though RFCs through workgroups are arguably Resulted from
Collaboration/Consensus/Chairing).
If you're going to alter the process in any way, start here.
