On the other hand, if you're relying on the fact that 1796 is informational in

Insisting on being pedantic on its status will merely leave you wondering

Standard or not, we have Christian Huitema, John Postel, and Steve Crocker
telling you something about RFCs and how they actually work. Which is more
likely, that all 3 of them were wrong, or that you're the one that's confused?
