Certainly, this document is simply RFC1981 to Std, and hence recommending RFC4821 would be kind of ou of scope, here. That say, one might wonder to what extent, and for the general Internet, RFC1981 can be considered succesful (given the filtering of ICMP messages). -- i.e., at this point in time you wouldn't rely on RFC1981 (icmp-based pmtud) for path-mtu discovery.
