What's a "candidate" ?  Author ?  Reader ?  Somebody trying to
implement RfCs ?  Somebody offering RFCs online, who's neither
IETF nor RfC-editor ?  Somebody who prints or cites RfCs ?

You're obviously proposing a special US edition of RFCs.  How
about moving this discussion to an US list ?  Or the IPR list,
I try that.
