Perhaps the IANA or the RFC Editor (or both) would be willing to keep
stable copies of supporting documentation that's too large (or otherwise
inconvenient) for inclusion in an RFC.

If so, then I'd suggest keeping the "ftp.ssh.com" URL in the draft, with a
note saying that it should be changed to an "iana.org" or "rfc-editor.org"
URL before publication as an RFC.
