Re: Referencing the IRI RFC (was Re: Snapshots of the drafts for review)

This came up at the F2F [1]; we decided to reference the IRI spec in 
the same manner that SOAP and WSDL do; I agree that this isn't 
reflected well in the minutes, but I clearly remember that there was 
consensus.

Jonathan currently has an AI to provide the editors with spec text that 
will accomplish this.

I don't think this requires a new issue, unless anyone remembers that 
discussion differently and wishes to contest the decision.
