The RFC database itself has expiration dates on specifications, namely on I-D documents (internet drafts). The expire 6 months after their initial publication, unless renewed.

Does that expiration mean something? The draft for Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol[1] expired in 1999 but still is widely implemented and used.
