Actually, the Web like most of the Internet depends on RFCs. I'll
look up the RFC for HTML 3.2 if you are interested.
Now to the hard question are RFCs more or less standard than ISO
standards? The RFC process results in many RFCs that are superceded
or ignored. (RFC stands for request for comment.) But there are
others like SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol), MIME (Multimedia
Internet Mail Extensions), and TCP/IP transmission control
protocol/Internet protocol, which are the basis for all of the
Internet and lots of stuff beyond it.
