I have to agree with John K. Pick any definition of standard you
want, stable, interoperable, multiple implementations, whatever, and
RFC 20 certainly fits as well as anything else we call a standard.
Just mark it as a standard and be done with it. Because that's
what it is.
R's,

PS: Thought experiment: Let's say we made RFC 20 a full standard.
