Hi Martin,

The easiest way to handle this would be to have those included in the
downref registry.  That would allow the documents to proceed with a
reference to the drafts, rather than the final RFCs.  If the ADs are
confident that the -chache and -semantics will not change the elements that
are referenced by QUIC, then a second last call that highlights that point
(and basically nothing else) will unstick this.

As someone has been waiting for cluster 238 for quite a while now, I am a
big fan of not trying to wait until everything can go lockstep.  The
benefits have definitely not outweighed the costs for C238, and I don't
think they would here.  Downref it and go on with publication.

Just my opinion, of course.

regards,

Ted
