* The RFC style guide [1] could be a good base. Replace ASCII with
UTF-8, remove the paging requirement and perhaps some other bits
and pieces we don't need and I think we could be there.
Having very similar guidelines as other major organizations does
seem like a big plus to me.

FYI (and since it is fun to sign with a specific job-title),
Note that the RFC Editor has just finished gathering requirements on how to evolve the series to deal with i18n issues and inclusion of diagrams (the document is approved for publication as RFC last week).
The RFC community is probably a little conservative as the RFC Series is an 'archival series'. But that draft documents some pros and cons. The issues that Gerry lists above can be found in the requirements draft.
