As the rfc style is defined as .sty-file, it is an extension to any document class and it can be loaded with the preamble line

Right. I have that in the preamble, though. I get the feeling that I somehow need to load rfc before I tell it to use the article class;
No, you always have to load the documentclass at first. Why do you think you need to load the package rfc before the class? What exactly is your problem?
