[Hosnieh] Interesting idea :-). Probably worth to discuss in rfc-interest list(?!). Because at the moment when someone talk about RFC number and if you didn't want to use it, you don't know which area it is related to unless you check everything on the internet. Sometimes the titles are not also good chosen and so general and one need to review the abstract and sometimes introduction so that he/she understands what area it is related to.
Only one doubt: are enough two digits for the working group? This means 100 WG maximum, unless the area acts as a "namespace" for the WG (so that 112300 and 122300 are from two differents WG). Even in the latter case you would have 100 WG per area, how much time this will last.
> Furthermore, within meetings/on-list of a WG we don't need to refer WG-RFC with large numbers but just say in speech our SS numbers for the WG, but when writing within draft we need to reference full number of RFC1AWWSS or RFC02460 or RFC01.
