As per Relevance of the word document, we have this rfc below:
Network Working Group G.
Request for Comments: 1150
FYI: 1 J.
March 1990
F.Y.I. on F.Y.I
Introduction to the F.Y.I.
Status of this
This RFC is the first in a new sub-series of RFCs called FYIs (
Your Information). This memo provides information for the
community. It does not specify any standard. Distribution of
memo is unlimited
1.
The FYI series of notes is designed to provide Internet users with
central repository of information about any topics which relate
the Internet. FYIs topics may range from historical memos on "Why
was was done this way" to answers to commonly asked
questions
The FYIs are intended for a wide audience. Some FYIs will cater
beginners, while others will discuss more advanced topics. An
may be submitted by anyone who has something to contribute and
the time to do so
2. Why
There are several reasons why the FYIs are part of the larger
series of notes. The formost reason is that the
mechanisms for RFCs are tried and true. Anyone who can get an RFC
can automatically get an FYI. More importantly, anyone who knows
the RFC series, can easily find out about the FYIs
Another reason for making FYIs part of the RFC series is that
maintainance mechanisms for RFCs are already in place and funded.
makes sense to maintain similar documents is a similar way.
all, there have been informational RFCs before
Finally, the name RFC has come to carry a meaning with it. There
credibility associated memos carrying the RFC label. FYIs
share that respect

RFC 1150 F.Y.I. on F.Y.I. March 1990
3. Format
Since the FYIs are a part of the RFC series, they must conform
RFC-1111 (Request for Comments on Request for Comments:
to RFC Authors) with respect to format. Ideally, they should
submitted in ASCII format, as described by section 2a, of RFC-1111.
4. Status
Each RFC must include on its first page the "Status of this Memo
section which contains a paragraph describing the intention of
RFC. This section is meant to convey the status granted by the
Editor and the Internet Activities Board (IAB). There are
reasons for publishing a memo as an RFC, for example, to
available some information for interested people, or to begin
continue a discussion of an interesting idea, or to make
the specification of a protocol
For example
This RFC is the first in a new sub-series of RFCs called FYIs (
Your Information). This memo provides information for the
community. It does not specify any standard. Distribution of
memo is unlimited
5. Distribution
Each FYI is to also include a "distribution statement". As
purpose of the FYI series is to disseminate information, there is
reason for the distribution to be anything other than "unlimited".
Typically, the distribution statement will simply be the
"Distribution of this memo is unlimited." appended to the "Status
this Memo" section
6. Security
All FYIs must contain a section that discusses the
considerations of the procedures that are the main topic of the RFC
7. Author's
Each FYI must have at the very end a section giving the author'
address, including the name and postal address, the telephone number
and the Internet email address

RFC 1150 F.Y.I. on F.Y.I. March 1990
8. Relation to other
Sometimes an FYI adds information on a topic discussed in a
FYI or completely replaces an earlier FYI. There are two terms
for these cases respectively, UPDATES and OBSOLETES. A document
obsoletes an earlier document can stand on its own. A document
merely updates an earlier document cannot stand on its own; it
something that must be added to or inserted into the
document, and has limited usefulness independently
To be used as a reference from a new item that cannot be
alone (i.e., one that supplements a previous document), to
to the previous document. The newer publication is a part
will supplement or be added on to the existing document; e.g.,
addendum, or separate, extra information that is to be added
the original document
To be used to refer to an earlier document that is replaced
this document. This document contains either revised information
or else all of the same information plus some new information
however extensive or brief that new information is; i.e.,
document can be used alone, without reference to the
document
OBSOLETED-
To be used to refer to the newer document that replaces the
document
UPDATED-
To be used to refer to the newer document that adds information
the existing, still useful, document
9. The FYI
All FYIs are submitted to the IETF User Services Working Group
review prior to their submission to the RFC Editor
Submissions may be made to

if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
this is version 0.1 of the Relevance System and you gotta expect some crappy subroutines sometimes,
just be content we did not write this in Java, which would have made this "bigger and better" HAHAHHA.
RFC documents can be found at I.E.T.F.
