Some people interpret RFCs as Internet Standards even though the
document contains "It does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind."
The document also says "Request for Comments," which is not even
remotely true -- it represents the end of a long reviewing and
commenting and evaluating process, not the beginning -- and it also says
"Network Working Group," when there are over 100 active WGs but none
with that name.
The more boilerplate takes over a document, the less readers will be
inclined to interpret any of it literally.
