4. Downward References Permitted
This section says nothing about references to documents with no status 
("pre-IETF" RFCs).  Maybe informative references to such RFCs should be 
allowed.  And what about normative ones?  Whether the RFC 3967 procedure 
will be used in such cases, or such references are disallowed in Standards 
Track docs?  I think this should also be mentioned in your draft.
What does this have to do with moving from two maturity levels?
Mostly nothing, but if you consider that the whole Section 4 is appropriate 
for your document, what I propose is appropriate also.

I just reviewed RFC 3967.  It does not seem to claim that references to those 
older documents requires special handling.  I'd like to leave this topic to 
an update to RFC 3967 if such an update is needed at all.

+1. Let's keep this I-D short and focused.
