That was the main reason for removing the references to the proxy draft:
it created a perception of a functional dependency (as the original
question illustrates) while all we meant to do was to use it as an
example.

A more mundane reason is that in November '03 the -10 version of the
snooping draft was held in the RFC Editor's queue because of its
dependencies on both the proxy and mrdisc drafts.  We took the proxy
dependencies out back in May '04.

I'll add here that a -12 version of the snooping draft should be out
shortly to update my contact address and document rev numbers.
