Check out the README <https://github.com/tobie/specref/> - it's mainly for bibliographic refs, yes, but it also supports cross-refs, by serving as a repository of terms and urls. > FWIW the PFWG is going to have a requirement for this sort of thing sooner > than later. So yes, it would be great if we could settle on a syntax. I think everyone has a requirement for good cross-refs; it's super-annoying to ref other specs yourself, so it happens far less than it should. ~TJ
