do we have to use local-biblio for same-day publications?

Newby question...

What the best way to publish N documents that refer to each other, where 
N > 1?    Should we use local-biblio while preparing the drafts, then 
after publication move those local-biblio entries into specref?   Or 
should we put speculative stuff into specref, so for a few days before 
publication, everyone's drafts will have a reference to a TR that 
doesn't exist yet (and might end up never existing, if the publication 
date changes)?

I suppose, in theory, respec or specref could notice that it's 
speculative (since the date of publication is in the future) and only 
use that reference under certain condition -- some kind of "I'm 
preparing this document" flag.   One can imagine these speculative 
reference could be added w3c-wide whenever the webmaster gives out a 
publication date.

On a related subject, is specref automatically updates with every w3c 
(and ietf?) publication, or does it have to be updated by hand after 
each publication?
