Yes, but that is the wrong way forward.

Given that we now have good referencegroup support, the reference should look like

https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-core-href-15.html#section-1.1-1

This is not the letter, but the spirit of RFC 8174…

It also shows how a multi-RFC BCP reference looks like.
