If it is generally acceptable or "good enough" to use the newer
standards, I don't want to stand in the way of product release while we
get the testing re-done (we know what happens to employees that take
stands on technicalities that aren't important in the grand scheme of
things & it's not good)
However, I also don't want to give in without some input from other
experts on how important this is to compliance assessment.
It's impossible to generalize; there are three cases:
1. The new edition is *exactly* the same as the earlier one for every
cross-reference in the referencing standard;
2. The new edition is *exactly* the same for some cross-references, but
not others;
3. The new edition is a complete re-write, so that the cross-references
in the referencing standard are meaningless.
Case 1. is the only one that doesn't spell trouble. *exactly* means
word-for-word and includes any Notes or examples.
