I agree with the editorial guidelines you suggest.

But the SVG elements are part of the "canonical" XML format.

RFC 7991 delegates this to RFC 7996, which does have a precise definition
(even if we want a newer one now).

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7991.html#section-4

I thought I would see how RFC 7991 (The "xml2rfc" Version 3 Vocabulary)
cites XML itself.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7991.html#section-9

[XML]     Bray, T., Paoli, J., Sperberg-McQueen, C., Maler, E.,
              and F. Yergeau, "Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0
              (Fifth Edition)", W3C Recommendation REC-xml-20081126,
              November 2008,
              <https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/>.

              Latest version available at <http://www.w3.org/TR/xml>.


Well, this should work:


[SVG]     Editor names...
               Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2
               W3C Candidate Recommendation 04 October 2018
               <https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-SVG2-20181004/>

               Latest version available at <https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG>

I think it works, given that https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/ has been working
for 20+ years, and that "latest version" link doesn't have a version. That
citation tells the reader which one we were working from at the time. I
still think the bullet points from SVG2 are better for some of the policies
discussed. They cover scripting, interactivity, animation, and external
resources--just as SVG does.

thanks,
Rob
