Continuing the IETF's long history of intricate April Foolery:

RFC: Omniscience Protocol 
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3751.txt?number=3751 

"OR1: The OP client must be able to install itself into all types of
        computers over the objections of the computer user.

OR2: True OP clients must not be findable by the computer user by any
        means, including commercial virus detectors, but all hackers'
        programs that mimic OP clients must be easily findable by
        commercial virus detectors."

Etc...
