If 20120315 is a REC anyway. There are LOTS of specs that need to reference a specific version of another spec. Look at XHTML Modularization, for example. It references XML 1.0 Fourth Edition even though there are later editions available. There were important technical reasons for this. Regardless, there needs to be a way to do this. Normatively. -- Shane McCarron Managing Director, Applied Testing and Technology, Inc. +1 763 786 8160 x120
