I'm personally happy with this approach.  But then rfc2462bis will
need to refer to the node requirements draft, and we'll face similar
questions:

- should the reference to the node-req doc be informative or
  normative?
- if normative, are there any reference dependency issues?
- (additional question) should we then still refer to RFC3315
  (probably as an informative one in this case)
