It doesn't matter to you, but it does matter to other people like me. I
only subscribed to this cfrg mailing list a few days ago and there, the
word standard and rfc are used quite often (the search result definitely
has false positives, but has true positives as well). The github
https://github.com/cfrg/draft-irtf-cfrg-bls-signature from the authors says
"BLS *Standard* Draft" and it also says "The repo is maintained by a
working group aiming to* standardize BLS signature scheme*".
