so here's the caveat: see https://gist.github.com/reschke/e1750b3a224528bf0eab1e4526efea84

xml2rfc uses seriesInfo for the BCP number, not the seriesInfo attribute; so it's inconsistent in where it takes information from (the RFC number is taken from the number attribute).

I don't think it makes sense to document this inconsistency; it would be better to either fix it, or directly proceed with removing <seriesInfo> from the <front> element.

What do you think, @levkowetz ?
