For the old school Fidonet mail network, the Fidonet Technical Standards
provided early guidelines.
I have no experience with Fidonet. It seems like an interesting community, with
lots of in-text special rules and procedures. IETF standards cannot adopt much
of this, but some of it may be useful. I have tried to write some RFCs which
are guidelines more than standards, but never got them finished enough to have
it published as an RFC.
Examples of such un-finished documents, which I have written but never got
ready for RFC status, are:
