This is a bit of fantasy that struck me as interesting. I've no idea
how much effort it would take -- or event whether it is feasible -- but
it seems like a capability that would be useful to others:
When working on a document for a long time, or when revising a
previously published document, references can become innaccurate, such
as by being made obsolete when a later version is issued. Sometimes,
the older reference is still desired, but much of the time, we simply
want the most current one.
I-D references do this automatically, but of course RFC ones don't. Nor
when an I-D becomes an RFC.
Well, in general the update can't be made automatic.
What can be done easily is a check for the freshness of references, see
the latest versions of ID-Nits and
