>    I guess there is little that can be done against someone calling their code
    reference implementation. Except of course having actually WG endorsed
    reference code and calling that "IETF FOOBAR-WG <protocol> reference code".

For a long time there was only Dave Mills's NTP code, and the current maintainer insists that this is still the reference implementation.  The IETF doesn't have reference implementations, nor should it.

>    Eliot mentioned crypto code, but i don't think we have official "endorsement/work-product status"
    for any such code... or do we ?

We have several RFC's that contain implementations.
