From a working group, yes, but a third-party informational RFC might fit the process? It's been about a decade since I've done anything in IETF-land so I'm not familiar with how the process has evolved. However, there used to be a way to feed "this is a best practice originating outside the IETF with protocol implications" ID through the RFC system, which leaves it "not a standard" but at least a useful reference in an authoritative form.
