This is the right thing to do.
I agree as well.
2. categorize the new reference as informative
Ok, but a bit bordline case, perhaps. Is this the
only way to have a reference to SEND and advance/keep
the current 2462 standard level?
It may be close to the border, but I don't think it crosses it. The
reader does not have to understand SEND in order to implement
or understand this specification.
However, if we determine that a normative reference is needed, we
can pursue a variance on the down-ref issue. I have talked to several
ADs about this, and they didn't have a problem with this approach if
it is needed.
