Just came here with the same link in my clipboard and a question: What would be the reason for using "lsd" instead of popular IETF RFCs? The fact that RFC is supposed to open a dialogue/discussion and "lsd" is something final? (edit: it isn't; it's a IETF-style Internet-Draft). Other LSDs on that site link to RFCs.

And, um, second question: what does "lsd" stand for in this case?

It stands for "Living Standards Document": https://www.gnunet.org/en/livingstandards.html

I can't find much on what "LSD" means here. The root of the subdomain has no index, just a file listing.

>What would be the reason for using "lsd" instead of popular IETF RFCs?

Maybe due to the following?

>This specification was developed outside the IETF and does not have IETF consensus.

[capableweb]

Most RFCs start without consensus as well, that's why they are Request For Comments, to reconcile about the idea/specification

[schanzen]

This sentence is usually added for specifications which are submitted independently to the Independent Stream Editor, as opposed to drafts which are discussed in a WG at IETF.
