It was a draft, which has expired. I used to have a reference to
the draft, but I don't know where it is at the moment. However, a
search of Internet Drafts at http://www.ietf.org/ turned up the
following URL:
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-zeroconf-ipv4-linklocal-01.txt
which appears to be an updated version of the draft (covers machines
with multiple interfaces). Surprisingly, it was written by somebody at
Apple.
