There's a nifty tool at ietf.org which allows viewing RFC documents 
using HTML markup:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/

The HTML version adds a header with 'Obsoleted by' and 'Updated by' 
links (and other useful information), for example:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822

In my Mozilla browser I've setup a keyword bookmark [1] like:

Location: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc%s
Keyword: rfc

Therefore typing "rfc 822" (or select/copy, or drag-n-drop) into the 
"Address" field of the browser opens the corresponding RFC document 
HTML version very conveniently for me.
