I guess it is ok in most cases, when the RFC references are to 'the XMPP
specification', but that XEP used in in a bit different context.
Most XEPs define some functionality on top of the XMPP protocol (which
could be RFC 3920 or RFC 6120). This one defines sets of protocol
specifications and RFC 3920 is a different protocol specification than
RFC 6120.
And it just look ridiculous in this case.

But, then what is the meaning of '2009' in 'XMPP Core Client 2009'?
