Hi Ben,

Thank you for addressing my review.

Any document that is required in order to understand and/or implement a
document should be a Normative Reference. If your document obsoletes
another document, how can that document be anything but a Normative
Reference? And yes, my understanding is that you can make a normative
reference to an obsolete document in this case.

Of course, this is still an editorial comment that I am sure the RFC Editor
will sort out.

Regards,

Dan
