OK, but I still don't find it logical The text doesn't explain which part of 6833bis is impacted, and normally these days we require such an explanation. And if there is an impact, you're missing the opportunity of fixing the error or gap in 6833bis, so the reader of 6833bis will be none the wiser unless you insert a reference to 8113bis. On the other hand, if there is no error or gap, you don't need "Updates:" at all. (Unfortunately, we don't have an "Extends:" header.)
