Mike (and others w/ shorter institutional memories) you
may recall that there have been several series of Internet
related documents, of which the RFC series is but one.
Jon was the IEN archive'est (is that a word?) at the same
time he was the RFC editor.
One very reasonable choice, IMHO, is to let the IESG/IAB/ISOC
folks create a new, unlinked series of Internet Standards
that does not involve the (apparently) messy problem of
dealing with material that does not get funneled into its
fairly rigid suite of processes. I've not heard a compelling
technical reason to "rein-in" the RFC process, only legalistic
ones.
