RE: An Internet Draft as reference material

[Kay, Rodney]

It is legitimate, but not very logical.  To base arguments, or suppositions,
on any "draft" document leaves you wide open for error.

Subject: An Internet Draft as reference material


Dear all

What do you think about "de facto" that many technical documents
are currently using Internet Drafts as referece material?

I've seen next two cases:
1. An Internet Draft refers to another Internet Draft.
2. A book refers to another Internet Draft.

I'm not sure of the next case. Any body observed this?
3. An RFC refers to an Internet Draft.

Hereby I'd like to ask your opinion, esp. on no.1
Is it legitimate?

Cheers,
