I think *some* informational PEPs (e.g. PEP 1 itself :-) are actually
more like standards, while others are, indeed, informational.  Maybe
we need separate categories?  Or simply call the standard ones
standard, even if they don't define some Python feature?

I certainly prefer that over trying to lobby me for a
pronouncement. :-)
