touche - however, that didn't become "the rule" before it was approved
by the IESG, after which change of content is not allowed.
The fact that the RFC Editor has a 3-month backlog is a real problem,
but the text should be completely stable now.
(The RFC-Editor fixes pointers between internet-drafts that are handed
to him at the same time, so that they refer to the RFCs when the set
is published, BTW)
