The Internet (spelled with a capital "I", please, as it is a proper noun)
was born on this day in 1969, when RFC-1 got published; it described the
IMP and ARPAnet.
As I said at a club lecture once, there are many internets, but only one
Internet.

This prompted me to look through the list (at
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index.html). Some very interesting
titles there.

Where was this codified? (I recall reading RFCs that referred to "an
internet" but cannot remember where.)
