there are various examples of "spec X or its successor" links, one in 
XML, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#sec-lang-tag : "The values of the 
attribute are language identifiers as defined by [IETF RFC 3066] 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#RFC1766>, Tags for the Identification of 
Languages, or its successor; in addition, the empty string may be 
specified." .
another example is the reference to Unicode taking normally by W3C specs:

Unicode
    The Unicode Consortium, The Unicode Standard, Version 4
    <http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/versions/>, ISBN
    0-321-18578-1, as updated from time to time by the publication of
    new versions. (See http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/versions
    <http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/versions/> for the latest
    version and additional information on versions of the standard and
    of the Unicode Character Database).

for these two specs there is enough "trust" within W3C that the IETF and 
the Unicode consortium will do "the right thing" for later versions. But 
it is a case by case basis whether a WG wants to give that trust to a spec.
