"It's a catastrophe, but of little importance" -- Zizek

"RFC" is Request For Comments. Some RFCs become standards. But there are no internet police, notwithstanding that the internet is a fascist state (run by corporations for the benefit of corporations). Understanding it as a fascist state is the rational way to view "enforcement" as well as the natterings over whether something is a standard and who is going to enforce it anyway.
