First of all, in the strictest definition, canon is what is in the
books, period.  Get a little looser, and you can include what JKR has
said in interviews.  The announcement that RAB was Regulus Black that
did appear on the hp-lexicon has since been taken down.  Now it just
says under Regulus's profile that "many fans suspect he might be the
mysterious RAB."

I, for one, am utterly convinced that RAB *is* Regulus Black, but
until it comes out of JKR's mouth (or pen), it is NOT canon.  I
personally think that speculation on the identity of RAB is a bit
useless, considering the fact that I think we'll be able to tell who
it is from the various translations that are coming out, but until we
get something from the actual books, "Who is RAB?" is a completely
valid line of questioning.  The only reliable source in JKR herself. 
Until you can quote the canon, it doesn't exist.
