Would a link to one of the many copies of RFC 1855 such as this one be relevant here? It could be quoted as a more thorough authority.

Not to be a spoil sport but isn't this a bit much? 6 or 7 points and requests from my peers is sufficient to guide me.
I'm in two minds. Personally I prefer the informal, but there
are those who only defer to authority. I don't mind either way. Give it today to get some opinions, then I'll go with the
majority.
I personally also prefer the informal.
But, if someone reads our entire list and gets to a link at the bottom, they can, if interested, look into it more. We could expand the "The 'rules' of internet usage..." line to emphasize "If you are interested...".
I don't feel strongly either way, so i'll also just side with the majority (which, of course, doesn't help in creating a majority :).

I think if I were reading it for the first time, I would think 'OK - that's what they want.' Then when I got to the bottom, I would probably say 'I'll have a look at that sometime' - and I'd probably forget about it. But it's there if anyone does want/need it.
