Not that I'm aware. However, people have started assigning DOIs to
standards documents, for example BSI British Standards:

http://www.crossref.org/crweblog/2007/10/bsi_british_standards_joins_cr.html

It's worth noting that the W3C has a fairly strong bias against non-URI
schemes for digital object identification and have issued various
position papers arguing that http:// URIs offer adequate persistence,
e.g.

"Cool URIs for the Semantic Web" http://www.w3.org/TR/cooluris/

"URNs, Namespaces and Registries"
http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/URNsAndRegistries-50.html#args_nri

so it may be that people doing things in the "W3C way" haven't felt a
need to do anything different.
