STD Sub-Series
Originally: all protocol specs were expected to quickly reach (full) Standard category.
Then the STD sub-series would include all significant standards documents.
Of course, it did not work out that way; most standards-track documents do not get beyond Proposed Standard.
See "Official Internet Protocol Standards"
See: www.rfc-editor.org/rfcxx00.html (occasionally published as STD 1) for the REAL list of current relevant standards-track docs.
