It has been observed that the current IETF standard designations, STD nnnn
and BCP nnnn designation, have not worked well. Problems have been found
when one of them is used either as a stable reference for external
specifications or as a combined reference for multiple documents linked
together into a single document. This document proposes two changes to
these designations. The first of these changes would create a new document
series and assign a new number and acronym to a specification when it
enters the first level of the Standards Track (or is first designated as a
BCP). The second would migrate the concept of STDs and BCPs numbering of
RFCs into actual documents that detail what they identify, their
publication information and their change history.
