Hi Tom, That's an interesting approach, indeed. However, one may object this is speculating about future use. No? <tp> It is speculating about whether or not this data will ever be needed to be referred to in a Normative manner. I keep seeing examples where it is, but the authors have not allowed for that, as with YANG modules. Talking of YANG modules, almost every one I see is short of reference clauses, judged by the standards of 'YANG Guidelines', and sometimes the reason is because that would be a DownRef and that is hassle. I think that YANG reference clauses have tilted the playing field and that the IESG will catch up with that in time, even if the letter of the law lags behind. A reference to an IANA registry is usually second-best because all that does is point to the real source of information. the RFC that defined the concept or the value. Tom Petch Please note that IPFIX types (in general, not only this I-D) can be used in YANG modules without having to cite an RFC. The authoritative reference would be the IANA registry itself. I'm thinking about an IANA-maintained IPFIX module that would echo the content of the current registry.
