Hi Jinmei,
Don't if it is concrete or not but Section 4.2.4 of RFC2026 states
Note: Standards track specifications normally must not depend on
other standards track specifications which are at a lower maturity
level or on non standards track specifications other than referenced
specifications from other standards bodies. (See Section 7.)
Since PS is lower than DS on the maturity level, a DS spec cannot have a
normative reference to a PS spec.
Regards
Suresh
