My problem is that, according to the rfc.sty documentation, rfc is to
be given as an argument to the documentclass command.  But it seems
to be ignored if I do that.

The rfc.sty was published in 1991. It is therefore designed for the old LaTeX-version "2.09". In 1994, the actual LaTeX-version "2epsilon" was published. This new version is the only one supported by LyX and you need an old LaTeX-distribution to compile documents in the old format.
You can see, that rfc uses the old syntax:


\documentstyle[12pt,rfc]{article}

the new syntax is

\documentclass[12pt,rfc]{article}

But as I wrote earlier, the article class doesn't support the option "rfc". As the rfc.sty is outdated and you should use another style. Have a look at

to find one.
