I am working on a document with guidelines for free standards in the

Please don't use "free standards" this way. The IETF produces free
standards.
According to what definition of 'free standards'?
Some of those standards have IPR licenses that you don't like.
Yes, and that would make them non-free to me.
The copyright license also makes IETF standards non-free, and here at
least one major GNU/Linux distribution agrees with me.
Anyway, the point of having optional guidelines is that people who do
not agree with the ideas behind the guidelines don't have to follow
them.
