A review of the Informational RFCs issued in the past few years would 
reveal a few RFCs that match that description quite well.

It is a bit counter-intuitive until you look at the alternative. There 
isn't a good, central, free, open repository for these things other than 
RFCs. This isn't to say that every protocol should go there. I would say 
that only "important" (either due to politics or the number of 
implementations using the protocol) protocols should qualify.
