Just make a copy might work if we have the legal right to do so.
(There are other complications, but they pale beside this one. In the
case of IEEE specs that Michael Richardson has been talking about, we do
NOT have a right to make a copy and give it away.)

I thought doing so could be the default.
To make a stable reference in an unstable world, add a date.

I agree. That requires some judgement, perhaps, but that’s okay.
