I've been looking for documented requirements around whether a Proposed
Standard can reference an Experimental document. I reviewed RFC 2026 and
tried to scan the 15 RFCs that update it that seemed relevant (e.g. I
skipped the IPR ones).
For example, RFC 2026 Section 2.2 describes how an I-D has no formal
status, but if it's expected to be published on the standards track it
may be referenced as a "Work in Progress" in a standards track document.
I found requirements for Applicability Statements in RFC 2026 Section
3.2 where the AS could not have a higher maturity level than any
standards track Technical Specification it references. So, a Draft
Standard AS cannot reference a Proposed Standard TS.
But I couldn't find such a prohibition for a Proposed Standard
referencing an Experimental document. I probably just failed with my
search terms and skimming... Maybe there's text that says it can't
reference anything but standards track documents, which I missed?
Is anybody familiar with a document where this kind of requirement is
spelled out?
Thanks,
--Steve.
