Just because something is an RFC doesn't mean it is a standard or
going to be one. Anything can be published as an RFC. See rfc1796,
"Not All RFCs Are Standards". Quoting from that document:

   It is a regrettably well spread misconception that publication as an
   RFC provides some level of recognition.  It does not, or at least not
   any more than the publication in a regular journal.
