I personally would love to see this!

Are there other RFC-like documents that should be part of the  
"examples"?
*microformats: e.g., http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar
* W3C notes: e.g., http://www.w3.org/2004/02/Process-20040205/
* OASIS specifications: e.g., http://docbook.org/specs/cs-docbook- 
simple-1.1.html
