This is pointless. No one other than an expert at the IETF process could
differentiate between the two types of Informational RFCs in RFC
repository (and many IETF process experts would not get it right on the
first try). An Informational RFC is an Informational RFC regardless of
the path that got it published.
RFC 2026, sec. 4.2.2 does not appear to designate two different types
of Informational RFCs. Where is this specified in the standards process?
