No. I don't know who would sign such a document for the IETF, and if 
they'd even feel they could do so.  The IETF charter has always been to 
make the Internet work better. :)  The IETF is the pinnacle de facto 
standards body, RFC's are just documents.

For some useful background:

W3C and IETF have had several collaborative projects and handle them on a 
case-by-cases basis. Generally, this means W3C tweaks things to let IETF 
folks participate and both groups publish the resulting spec.
