FYI. IETF policies re "downrefs" in standards track RFCs is described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3967 (and updated by
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8067).
In short, it's not prohibited, but careful review is required.
Note RFC3967 Section 2 first bullet
There are a number of circumstances in which an IETF document may
need to make a normative reference to a document at a lower maturity
level, but such a reference conflicts with Section 4.2.4 of
[RFC2026]. For example:
o A standards track document may need to refer to a protocol or
algorithm developed by an external body but modified, adapted, or
profiled by an IETF informational RFC, for example, MD5 [RFC1321]
and HMAC [RFC2104]. Note that this does not override the IETF's
duty to see that the specification is indeed sufficiently clear to
enable creation of interoperable implementations.
