Re: Ambiguity on 8859-* and bi-directionality

According to Erik Huizer, informative references to non-standards-track
RFCs are permitted, while normative references are not, in standards-track
RFCs.

Another way of doing it would be to reference the IANA registration
for the ISO-8859-* charsets, which should be possible normatively.

This doesn't work.  There is a difference between charsets standardized
for use in MIME, and those registered for use in MIME.  The former 
requires approval of an IETF working group and the IESG.
