Really ?  I somehow missed it.  I'm aware of the rather old and
in some details stupid "netiquette" RFC, and a nice RFC explaining
how "flowed quoting" could work for everybody.  

For Newsgroups, if you have *something* as reference(s) you can
provisionally register it.  Worked like a charme for Archived-At,
(IOW all red tapes are already cut).  Admittedly it might help
if the "something" is an active draft, but it can be worse, e.g.
Errors-To is "provisionally deprecated":
