I don't agree on it. There are lots of ways to add a version number to a 
document or software.

For example, when you click on this link:
  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-worley-references
you will be redirected to the last version of that draft (sure you know it 
very well :) ).

Exactly the same could be done for RFC's:
  RFC3396-v2

I can't understand why it would be so traumatic. Note that I just consider bug 
fixes, never new features and specifications which should be written in a new 
document replacing the old one (as RFC 3261 bsoletes RFC 2543).

If a document called "ABC" is fixed, it remains being "ABC". I can't 
understand why a fixed version of RFC 3396 can't exist.
