That seems painful to me. Assigning DOI's to RFCs could happen external to the RFC itself, and could be something that doesn't cause a lot of friction. But if we are polluting RFCs with these DOI numbers, and that we are forced to make an effort to do so as part of the agreement with the DOI vendor, I think this whole thing sounds like a bad idea and contrary to what the IETF usually stand for. /Simon
