I am I misreading the actual RFC process? No, there's a process of creating and approving draft versions (described in an RFC of course :-) before the RFC Editor decides to release the definitive version, but even this is still called an RFC, not a Standards Document or anything fancy, although some key RFCs are described as being "Standards Track". Comments to an RFC may eventually serve to generate a new RFC which supersedes it, e.g. RFC2822 obsoletes RFC822.
