I read your link to the RFC before I read the Mozilla article. It was not clear that the RFC was an April fools joke until after I read the Mozilla bit that highlighted it being a gag. After that, the date at the top of the RFC became obvious.

Is the date in the status code itself? If the authors were American, then they would write the 1st of April 1998 as 4/1/1998, which could be truncated to 4/1/8.
