Re: Confused about references to I-D when the RFC is published

2005-01-11 21:07:06

I will admit to having been a little more focused, during AUTH48,
on making sure that the document got back to saying what it had
said when it entered the RFC Editor queue some 5 months earlier.

Last week, one RFC has been published with a reference to an
I-D when the final RFC is already published.

RFC 3958 says:

  [11] Atkins, D. and R. Austein, "Threat Analysis Of The
Domain Name         System", Work in Progress, April 2004.

while RFC 3833 is five months old.

Now, I understand that RFC 3958 was probably approved before
RFC 3833 was issued. But I thought
(ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-editor/rfc-editor-proce
ss.gif) that references were supposed to be updated by the RFC
editor even after approval by the IESG?


Yes.  But this is also the sort of thing that authors are
supposed to check carefully on RFC Editor 48 hour author's last
call.  Slip-ups happen; no one is perfect.
