Is it wrong to note in a document's References section that a set of
standards are technically identical?  It will obviously increase the
size of references if an author does this.  If you also believe that
we should require authors to distinguish between the dead-tree version
of a standard and the online copy of the standard, References sections
could get really unwieldy.
...

This was the practice in ISO / ITU work back in the days of JTC1/SC21,
where there were many standards that were either common text or
technically aligned.
