Perhaps a new WG could be chartered to structure RFC related  
information.  To avoid affecting any existing process, this  
structuring would not include any normative language related to any  
existing RFC.  However a process for simple review and acceptance of  
structuring elements should be considered.  Instead of this effort  
increasing administrative burdens, this should result in a net  
reduction once instantiated.  The instantiation of the structure  
could be either incremental or complete depending upon the  
participation within the WG.  In addition to added structure making  
access to the information more user friendly, the structuring should  
have benefits related to coordinating with other SDOs and other  
literature.

Once there is experience in how the structure is used, then review  
the categorization process.  The categorization may then need to be  
raised to higher level structure elements.
