Standards bodies like IETF and the W3C also play a crucial roles and are in some aspects the worst offenders when it comes to promoting centralization via standards. So seeing an RFC that's the product of multiple layers of centralization talk about that topic seems very ironic. They do address this in the RFC, but only briefly and I don't think to a sufficient enough extent. If you want to get rid of centralisation one of the most effective things to do is ignoring standards bodies. Of course that may be detrimental to end-users in other ways (e.g. non-iteroperability).
