Those folks looking at 3470 might have missed the third paragraph in section
4.9:

"In the case of namespaces in IETF standards-track documents, it would
be useful if there were some permanent part of the IETF's own web

permanent URIs can be used, e.g., URNs in the IETF URN namespace"

URNs in the IETF namespace seems to be the more common practice in the IETF:
