I wonder whether it is not worth doing both. In many WG-s the formal publications on /TR are relatively scarce, meaning that the editor's draft is significantly ahead of the latest official publication. User, implementers, etc, are usually better off looking at the editor's draft (I know it is the case in another WG where I am staff contact). Having a reference to the latest stable edition as well as the editor's draft might be of interest.

Of course, there are cases when this may be unnecessary, namely when the document status is CR or 'higher', ie, when the design phase is already done.
