These aren't published by the IETF, but by the RFC editor directly. As such, the IETF has little control. Even if this were not so, I would be very much against discontinuing or specially marking such documents. I appreciate Mark Crispin was always proud that his randomly lose telnet extension

Hi Hector, When I read the RFC on 1 April 2013 (my first time experience) I noticed something is wrong (with the system or with doc-content), but the document does not refer to any joke. As if you receive a message from someone you know, but you realise that you don't know why he/she sending it.
