I believe the practice is to say what you mean, which IMHO means that for normative references one always provides a pointer to a dated version. (One can't normatively include the unspecified future, though in xmldsig we did get very closing to that with some of the Unicode specs and addendums! <smile/>) If your intent is to track another version then saying as much and providing both makes sense. Regardless, for a auto-biblio generation, I certainly want the dated versions.
