Editing Request for Comments (section)

===Unknown===
Status ''unknown'' is used for some very old RFCs, where it is unclear which status the document would get if it were published today. Some of these RFCs would not be published at all today; an early RFC was often just that: a simple Request for Comments, not intended to specify a protocol, administrative procedure, or anything else for which the RFC series is used today.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.isc.org/rfcs/| title=IETF Standards Written by ISC Contributors| date=September 10, 2021| publisher=[[Internet Systems Consortium]]| access-date=2022-04-11| quote=Many of the early RFC documents have status “unknown” because they come from the long-gone era when an RFC really was just a request for comments.| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220405182509/https://www.isc.org/rfcs/| archive-date=2022-04-05|url-status=live}}</ref>
