The draft should consider reader styles then present author styles and then RFC best practice style. I don't think the funny RFC is a best practice style.
In a different thread you made some claims about the reason IETF attendance dropped off after 2000-2002. I think if the IETF and the RFC Editor function were compelled to become so rigid that we can no longer safely reminisce or laugh at ourselves in sometimes visible ways, you'll see it drop again.
I think it's fine that some people aren't in on the joke. Getting there is a form of education; if you do the work to understand the joke, you'll be better off, and then you can laugh with us.
In any case, I agree with SM's point that this has little if anything to do with the style guide.
