Any pointer on such regulations? Presently, I know:

RFC 2277 / BCP 18 IETF Policy on Character Sets and Languages

RFC 2223 Instructions to RFC Authors

RFC 3536 Terminology Used in Internationalization in the IETF

But none seems to back up your claim.

(In the same way that no document seems to mandate that the RFC be
written in English: I'll translate the draft to French tomorrow.)
