I believe not. There is draft-ietf-dnsext-ipv6-addresses-01 which
says:

	Abstract

	   This document clarifies and updates the standards status of RFCs that
	   define direct and reverse map of IPv6 addresses in DNS. This document
	   moves the A6 and Bit label specifications to experimental status.

and:

	1.1 Standards action taken

	   This document changes the status of RFCs 2673 and 2874 from Proposed
	   Standard to Experimental.

as well as:

	2.2 Recommended standard action

	   Based on the perceived consensus, this document recommend that RFC
	   1886 stay on standards track and be advanced, while moving RFC 2874
	   to Experimental status.

The I-D, dated March 2002 and expiring September 2002, is available at
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsext-ipv6-addresses-01.txt
and updates RFCs 1886, 2673 and 2874.

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
