Not so:

- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2387

Strictly, this isn't MHTML, but the underlying packaging format used by MHTML 
(multipart/related).  MHTML itself is defined in:

- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2557

These are both IETF standards-track documents.

(Though, to be fair, Jeni did give reasons for not using a multipart type.)
