@diekus, pro tip: in theory, if you need `data-cite="spec#thing"`, there is probably something wrong. Always check https://respec.org/xref/ first. 

If the term is not there, it usually means that there is a spec bug (in our spec). In the rare case where something is missing, you then need to ask the spec that you are trying to reference to export the term by adding `data-export=""` or `export` for BikeShed specs.

Hope that makes sense! 

PS: you can always ping us for help!
