That makes no sense ... something can't be an IETF standard if it doesn't
get created and adopted using The IETF's processes. The word 'standard'
implies the approval of some organization/standards body. The independant
stream does allow publishing of alternatives to IETF Standards, but that
doesn't make tham alternative standards. For that some other recognized
group needs to declare it a standard and then it will be An XYZ Group
Standard, not an IETF Standard.
