Once an RFC is published, there is essentially no way for readers to
provide feedback: what works, what are the implementation pitfalls,
how does the document relate to other technologies or even to other RFCs.

There is a number of tools now that allow "web annotations" (i.e.,
comments) on various published documents. I submitted a draft [1]
recently that proposes to enable annotations on the "tools" version
of our RFCs. Technically, this is a trivial change. From a process
point of view it is more complicated and merits discussion on this
list. Sec. 6 of the draft allows you to see for yourself what such
annotations would look like.
I recall that this has been discussed
before. draft-sheffer-ietf-rfc-annotations-00 is proposing an IETF
process experiment to enable web annotations on published
RFCs. Would that cover RFCs published in the IAB Stream?
As the proposed experiment identifies "tools" RFCs, it shouldn't
affect the archival series. Section 4.1 mentions that there is room
for abuse. I read some negative comments on the web about a RFC
which I edited. In my opinion it is fair criticism.
