you mean besides RFC 2026?  

specifically the bits about 

   A Proposed Standard specification is generally stable, has resolved
   known design choices, is believed to be well-understood, has received
   significant community review, and appears to enjoy enough community
   interest to be considered valuable. 

and

   A Proposed Standard should have no known technical omissions with
   respect to the requirements placed upon it. 

?

but yes, I do think that the "IP over MIME" discussion is probably a good
example of why we need a better defined scope for IETF standardization 
activities.
