Some people believe the earth is flat. We cannot worry about the silly
things that individual people might "believe" or things that we find
irritating or offensive. We need to worry about problems that hurt the
Internet.

In all of the years of debating about abusive references to an RFCs status,
no one has ever demonstrated that an abuse -- calling something a standard
that is not -- has caused any real problems.

Let's restrict ourselves to fixing Internet technical problems, rather than
trying to prevent marketing abuses.
