Another jumbo frames question wink_1000 03-20-07

I have at least one book and one internet article that say there is no
MTU explicitly defined in 802.3ab so therefore jumbo frames are not
"standard." But I guess that also means that the 1500 byte frame is
not "standard" either?

Is the MTU explicitly identified in the standard?
