The text that got used in CalDAV (which is about to be published) is:

with 2246, 2818 and 4346 all normative references. These type of
"up-references" are not ideal and I believe there was some
discussion going on somewhere about how better to deal with this
type of situation.

As pointed out before, that text really is confusing. As a reader. I'm
left wondering whether I need to implement RFC2246 or RFC4346. Or both?
I wish I knew the answer to this question as well... :)
Seriously, we're shortly going three separate versions of TLS
standardized, 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2, plus SSLv3. So, the question
of what to require implementors to do is a tricky one that
actually doesn't have that much to do with TLS :)
