From a future version of the Tao of the IETF:

   There are some informal rules for Internet Draft naming that have
   evolved over the years.  Internet Drafts that revise existing RFCs
   often have draft names with "bis" in them, meaning "the thing after
   the RFC"; for example, a draft might be called
   "draft-someone-rfc2345bis-00.txt".
