I think that R.A.B. is Sirius' brother, Regulus Black. We know that he was a Death Eater, and that he was later killed because he wanted out. I believe that he stole the real locket Horcrux, tried to destroy it, but it ended up at his childhood home at Number 12, Grimmauld Place. In Order of the Phoenix (American Edition) on page 116, "a heavy locket that nobody could open" is mentioned. I think that this is the real Horcrux, and now that Harry owns Grimmauld Place, he, Hermione, and Ron will go there and discover it. Here is what J.K. Rowling had to say about R.A.B. in an interview with Melissa Anelli and Emerson Spartz of The Leaky Cauldron and Mugglenet fansites:
MA: R.A.B.
JKR: Ohhh, good.
[All laugh.]
JKR: No, I'm glad! Yes?
MA: Can we figure out who he is, from what we know so far?
[Note: JKR has adopted slightly evil look here]
JKR: Do you have a theory?
MA: We've come up with Regulus Black.
JKR: Have you now?
MA: Uh-oh.
[Laughter.]
JKR: Well, I think that would be, um, a fine guess.
MA: And perhaps, being Sirius’s brother, he had another mirror –
JKR: [drums fingers on soda can]
MA: Does he have the other mirror, or Sirius’s mirror —
JKR: I have no comment at all on that mirror. That mirror is not on the table. [Laughter from all; Jo's is maniacal.]

RAB probably stands for Regulus Black. And in the 5th book, when they are cleaning out Grimmauld Place, Ginny finds a locket that no one can open. I bet it's still in the house somewhere.

I think it's Regulus Arcturus Black. There have been some very interesting discussions on this topic on various fan sites. One of my favorites was on the cosforums website (link below).

I don't know but I can't wait till the next part to find out what it stands for but I am sure its not the name of a person but rather of something else.
