[ih] That Host-Host Protocol Document No. 1

Thanks for the hint. But actually I was under strong impression that RFC
1 was just that: a request for comments with more questions and problem
statements than bold proposals; and the first go at really specifying a
generic host-host protocol happened some time in 1970 rather than early
1969 (when the BBN 1822 report was not even out yet). I took it that the
references and discussion in RFC 65 are about this document (which is
therein referred to as Host-Host Protocol Document No. 1; and this term
is referred to in various other accounts at the time, too, so I was just
curious as to what exactly that document was; I frankly doubt it's RFC
1). (I may go and ask Dave Walden or Steve Crocker directly on this.)
