I will make this easy: not going to pursue Informational status. I foresee
compliance language referring to these regular expressions: if not in the

regular expression capabilities, would be an example. Consider, for
example, the POSIX standard, and the C++ standard library standards. It
would be reasonable for web browers/ECMAScript/HTML/DOM to offer e-mail
address validation capabilities at some point in the future, with polyfill
to fill in older implementations.
John Klensin makes a compelling argument that this stuff should actually
not be published in a way that's equally normative with the existing
standards track documents. I wonder if that compels it in the
Informational direction.
Your choice of publication status will require some amount of consensus, so
your assertion might be premature... ;-)
