          The most important comment for me as start message is
            that the 1st April RFC should be categorised different than
            IETF standards. IMHO, The past RFC style is not a reasonable
            style of the world or the future best practices. In
            considering our standards business and our documents
            reputation, we should not make jokes with our followers only
            if we are sure all like such jokes. 
            

            I don't want to stop that Style type, but it should be
              easily discriminated by readers/users from other real
              work/business. 

            
    All April 1st RFCs *ARE* categorized different than IETF standards.
    The problem is your equating "RFC == IETF Standard".

    
    Repeat this mantra 10,000 times or until you fully grok it: Only
    some RFCs are standards; the rest are not.
