State: Pending

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.
