Hi Gunter,

thank you for noticing this.

This is an approved document, RFC-to-be 9423, which has completed AUTH48 =
and is currently in TI state (tools issue).
As far as I know the xml2rfc bug =
(https://github.com/ietf-tools/xml2rfc/issues/685) has been fixed and we =
are just waiting for the next xml2rfc release, which of course went slow =
around IETF119.

I expect RFC-to-be 9423 to be published before the RPC starts editing, =
but certainly before it reaches AUTH48 state.  If not, the two documents =
will go into a cluster...

That is indeed a good question, which comes up again and again.
I don=E2=80=99t think we have heard a definitive answer.
My view:
Oscore-edhoc needs those registrations, so the IANA registry itself =
(which ultimately assigns the names for those) definitely is a normative =
reference; we can skimp on making the document that establishes the =
registry (9423) normative (although it indirectly is).  Not making the =
registry document normative can help if it is approved (i.e., the =
registry exists) but not yet published.
