I don't know what's stranger, that the browser silently redirects to a
Google search, or that Google's usually excellent indexing comes up with
such a lousy result.
At least they have this near the top:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/
This is probably a bit like searching for 'PHP' - you sometimes get a load
of pages that just have ".php" in the URL and are nothing to do with the
language.
