I'm still thinking and need a discussion first with authors and see what 
community thinks - but pointing to RFC or draft is ok for us, we know how to 
read RFC and so on - problem is when somebody writes a tender for buying ICT 
equipment - in this case going to read RFC or draft or something might be quite 
complicated for some people.

Not sure yet, do we just point to Ole's draft (that is excellent imho) or do we 
write a list of mandatory RFCs that are 1:1 in sync with the draft and BBF paper 
(Ole is also editing that) and keep the list in sync if draft/RFC changes. This 
way tender initiator can just copy/paste RFCs and this way the job is easy.

Any thoughts?

Cheers, Jan
