[rfc-i] Recently published .txt versions of historical RFCs

[Tony Hansen]

I sent the RFC editor rfc97.txt back in 8/2008. It needed to be checked 
by another pair of eyeballs, but I'm not sure why it never got posted.

I've attached it here.

For good measure, I decided to type in rfc551.txt. It's also attached 
and needs to be checked.

PS. From your list, RFCs 320 and 669 *do* have TXT versions.
