The IETF aipref drafts are working documents, not RFCs: vocab-08 defines usage categories (train-ai, ai-use, search) and a serialization and states it does not reflect working-group consensus; attach-05 defines a Content-Usage HTTP header and robots.txt rule and would update RFC 9309 if approved. Preferences are statements; enforcement is out of scope.
