Hi Alexis,
An RFC can reference an external standard or an external source. As
an example, RFC 3174 has the following reference:
"Secure Hash Standard", United States of American,
National Institute of Science and Technology, Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 180-1, April
1993
It may happen that the external source disappeared, e.g. Erratum
#8090. There was recently a case of a external standard/source,
referenced normatively, which was retracted.
Do other publishers recommend that the external/source be marked as
"retracted"?
Regards,
S. Moonesamy
