The entire point of this working group (and the bis version that is in

Note that even the current email specs are not "standards" in IETF
parlance
(there's another WG addressing that). It's mostly organizational
semantic
slicing-and-dicing.
The current email specs (specifically RFC 5321 and 5322) are Draft
Standard, which is part of Standards Track. There is an enormous
difference between Informational and Standards Track in terms of the
amount of vetting and consensus required for approval. From RFC 2026:
An "Informational" specification is published for the general
information of the Internet community, and does not represent an
Internet community consensus or recommendation.
