Citing the decision for ISSUE-101 in
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Mar/0302.html>:

"As such, we found the objection to referencing a for-pay document
stronger than the objection to referencing RFC 1345, even if the RFC
does not provide a normative definition for ASCII."

So it seems the decision was based on the assumption that RFC 1345 is not used
as normative reference. However, it is.
