Thanks for the pointers to the referencing requirements docs.
If the IESG decision is "no further work on RDNSS configuration will be chartered", the two drafts won't be progressed and published. Not a huge issue; I'd just like us to consider the potential benefits of archiving this process...

Indeed, it is not necessary to publish it for this purpose. The IESG can and often does approve documents which have normative references as still I-Ds, or documents which have slightly similar circular dependencies. Then the all the documents will just wait in the RFC-editor pool until all the required circular dependencies have entered the pool.

Unfortunately, I don't think much of this is definitely documented. draft-ymbk-downref-02.txt gives the guidelines for issue (1). For issue (1), there's some information in draft-rfc-editor-rfc2223bis-07.txt.
