Is that now the rule? Have RFCs 1984 & 2804 been superseded?
I believe those prove the point that the IETF believes in the definition of
technologies, and the political implications of that are left for other
organizations. Yes they take a political stand in stating that the
technology should be available to anyone, but actual availability is
delivered through the implementation, which is not in the IETF's control.
