Do we have a good definition of "recognized standards bodies" anywhere?
This has come up recently in other contexts (e.g., RFC 6838) recently and
I'm wondering if there's an actual definition somewhere that I don't know
about.  In particular, what defines "recognized"?

Has there been a need previously to have a downref registry for things
external to the IETF?  The current registry only has RFCs in it.
