fwiw - I think that, in most cases, refering to a specific verion of
an ID is a way to guarantee that the resuting RFC will be obsolete
before it is published (except for the specific cases that I
mentioned in my prior email)
does not seem to be a good idea to purposefully set up procedures
to publish obsolete RFCs
