RFC search provider

In my work I have to look a lot at the IETF rfc documents, and I always have to jump through a bunch of hoops to find the document I want. Google often links me to the text version, and often I'm looking at obsoleted versions of documents when a new rfc has been published.

Well, so I created a simple OpenSearch provider to solve this. It does exactly what I need, and I only tested in Firefox. If it's useful to anyone else, you can add the provider from rfcsearch.phpfogapp.com.

It works with a simple hardcoded list of known keywords, and it will fall back to "Google's I'm feeling lucky" if it doesn't know the keyword. Feel free to fork it or laugh at my source code.
