In that last message, I said: "a normative reference in a proposed standard document can’t have a normative reference to a document of lower status"
This isn't strictly true. Rather, the downward reference has to be highlighted in the Last Call announcement itself so that reviewers and the IESG can determine whether or not the downward reference is appropriate and acceptable. That's what was missed for the authfailure-report draft. -MSK _______________________________________________ marf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/marf
