I agree that adding a reference to the upcoming IEEE Std 802.11-202x would make sense and would add value to the future RFC. Since the timing is close, I guess we in the IETF can consider delaying the publication of this RFC until the IEEE specification is out, so that we can include the correct reference. This would be very similar to our common practice regarding normative intra-IETF references.
Best,

There's lots about standards publication timing that can change, but to
me, it looks as if the 'November/December of 2024' publication timing of
IEEE Std 802.11-202x could be very close to the publication timing of
the RFC resulting from this draft.
So why not add a reference to that standard (rather than just to the WG
responsible for it) in the draft at hand, and instruct the RFC editor to
publish the RFC when that standard is published.
Not something that may be repeatable in all similar cases in the future,
but we shouldn't expect future similar cases to all be exactly the same
anyway.
Regards, Martin.
