All I'd add to this thread is "Internet Standard" seems vague. IETF
surely makes them, but so does W3C, OASIS, and other standards bodies. I
guess I'd prefer to see "IETF" mentioned to give better scope.
And in your specific text, I presume somewhere you mention the STD #, or
RFC # or I-D name. Don't make the user try to figure out which standard
you mean... :-)
