    I think this is OK. For example, the S/MIME RFCs have OIDs from the RSA
    arc, e.g.:

    SecureMimeMessageV3
      { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549)
             pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) modules(0) smime(4) }

    This is in RFC 2633, which is an IETF Standards Track document. This it is
    politcally correct to have an OID that is in a corporate arc in a standards
    document. My recommendation, is to just continue using the ones that are
    in the draft, and not worry about it.
