So it sounds like I should just cite the component RFCs, possibly in a nested reference to BCP 195. I can do that, and it’s probably safer from a possible-future-changes perspective. Thanks (and thanks for a similar answer from Dave Thaler as well). -Jim >> On Apr 23, 2024, at 2:28 PM, Jim Fenton <fenton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> I want to cite BCP 195 in a document I’m working on, and would rather cite the BCP rather than the component RFCs (8996 and 9325) because the BCP will be updated as needed, while the component RFCs won’t. I realize that means that there’s some possibility that the BCP will say something that the referencing document won’t like at some point in the future. >> >> Is there an accepted form for citing a BCP?
