Title : Clarifying when Standards Track Documents may Refer
Normatively to Documents at a Lower Level

IETF procedures generally require that a standards track RFC may not
have a normative reference to a document at a lower standards level.
For example a standards track document may not have a normative
reference to an informational RFC. There are needs for exceptions to
this rule, often caused by the IETF using informational RFCs to
describe non-IETF standards, or IETF-specific modes of use of such
standards. This document clarifies the procedure used in these
circumstances.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ymbk-downref-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
