If RFC 1766 is obsoleted, wouldn't any Proposed Standard which has
a normative reference to RFC 1766 also be obsolete?

This would include RFC 2596 (Use of Language Codes in LDAP) and
likely others.  Has anyone a complete list of Standard Track RFC
which have normative references to 1766?   I believe that such
is needed to judge the impact of the proposal.
