Re: BCPs and STDs

Ed,

The IETF's publisher is the RFC Editor, so they maintain search
pages etc. at http://www.rfc-editor.org

Try http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcsearch.html for generic search
Try http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcxx00.html for document categories

Oh, and for documents awaiting RFC publication, try
http://rtg.ietf.org:8080/Test/parking

[More generally: yes, the IETF web site needs a general
clean up for useability and organization. The Tools team has
this on their list.]
