RFCs

The mox source code is quite heavily annotated with references to the RFCs. This makes the implementation more maintainable, and makes it easier for new developers to make changes. See cross-referenced code and RFCs to navigate RFCs and source code side by side.

Implementation status per RFC, grouped by topic.
