It doesn't even mean that. There are many RFCs which are not standards-
track, including this one which is "experimental". Note that all the MARID
RFCs haave an extremely scathing IESG note which basically says you should
expect interoperability problems if you use any MARID technique, including
SPF.

STD numbers are not allocated like that.

Technically, that doesn't make it a standard.  That means it's on the 
track to becoming a standard.  It's not a standard until it's STD-4408, 
IIRC.

Still, nice to see it moving forward.  Seeing both SPF and Domain Keys 
become widely adopted would be nice.
