Last I checked, the W3C did provide all the references in some weird and obscure format (RDF), though looking at /TR/ right now, there is not even a link there anymore to the RDF file. Much more helpful would be JSON or plain XML so it can actually be parsed easily by off the shelf tools like Node.js and JQuery. > ... I'm using tr.rdf, and, although it's not as pretty as a custom format might be, it works for me (<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2629xslt/rfc2629xslt.html#checking-references>).
