I appologise in advance if this comment is not helpful.
In the SIGTRAN mailing list there was a similar issue for some RFC, and
if I recall correctly the compromize was that I-D's could be listed as
Informational References but not Normative References. Is this an
option here?

I do not know what should be the actual mechanism but it will be like
hitchhiking a space ship that has many of its windows covered,
it will be hard to see where we are flying to.

RE: [RAI] RAI review of draft-ietf-sip-hitchhikers-guide-03
I would also prefer that I-D references be left in the document. It's
very helpful to the community to not only know where SIP is at when you
read the guide, but to know where it's headed. If for no other reason
than it prevents someone from thinking they've discovered a novel
problem and go off implementing a solution parallel to what will soon
(hopefully) be an RFC. Likewise, if they find that the I-D is
incomplete, it gives them a reference to make comments against that they
may not have otherwise discovered.
It's an informative document. What if we just copy paragraphs two and
three of from the boilerplate "status of this memo" into the
introduction as a warning to those who read the document later as an RFC
that I-D's referenced by the guide can change.
Is there any harm in doing this?

Brian
