ANSI.X3.4-1986 is apparently nowhere to be found.  I even tried 
searching the ANSI website and their Standards Store for it, and came up 
with nothing at all.  Referencing a specification which, for all intents 
and purposes, is effectively non-existent and unavailable in any form 
would not be useful.  (It's probably printed and hidden in some archive 
somewhere, but still out of reach of most people).

This issue should be left up to the discretion of the editor to either 
leave it as a reference to RFC 1345 or change it to an alternative, 
publicly available reference.
