I don’t have a dog in this fight, but some extremely important RFCs are only on the “informational” track. RFCs 1945 (HTTP 1.0), 4627 (JSON), 2818 (HTTPS), etc.

HTTP, JSON, and HTTPS all have standards-track RFCs.

		As far as I know HTTP 1.0 doesn't have a standards-track RFC (HTTP 1.1 and later do). JSON and HTTPS do indeed have standards-track RFCs, but I stand by my original wording that their first informational RFCs were "extremely important."
