The ISO has informational documents that aren't really standards. I wrote one that is in the process of becoming one of those documents that you pay 133 Swiss Franc for.

RFC, in its earlier days, was not as rigid as it is now. You get standards written like essays (good for figuring out why, not quite good for figuring out how to do something) and regular essays. Check out more from the Informational category: * RFC 1121 "Act One - The Poems". https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1121 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1121 * RFC 1983 "Internet Users' Glossary" https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1983 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1983 * RFC 2468 "I REMEMBER IANA" https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2468.html https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2468.html - Yes, people kept having fun after RFC 2119. More goodies at https://www.rfc-editor.org/search/rfc_search_detail.php?sortkey=Number&sorting=DESC&page=All&pubstatus%5B%5D=Informational https://www.rfc-editor.org/search/rfc_search_detail.php?sort.... A lot of the April Fool's RFCs are Informational too. The even older categorized class contains more essays. https://www.rfc-editor.org/search/rfc_search_detail.php?sortkey=Number&sorting=DESC&page=All&pubstatus%5B%5D=Unknown https://www.rfc-editor.org/search/rfc_search_detail.php?sort... See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments#History. RFC started out informal!

  I shared 1925 with a co-worker the other day. Section 2 paragraph 4 is one of those lessons that I've learned myself.
