It isn't. It was Ian's choice to do it this way. My proposal is and was to leave the registration in a separate document, which can continue to also reference previous specs. > How does this work for other media type registrations? E.g.

How does this work? A namespace-wellformed XML document is also a wellformed XML document. So unless RFC 3023 needs to say something specific about XML namespaces, it seems to be ok not to reference it. I don't understand the other part. Could you elaborate?
