Next week that URI can change. It is not an IEEE standard, so there is no P number. Since it is not an IEEE standard, you cannot buy or reference the spec from IEEE.

Is there someone involved with the MMDEF work who can find out about a stable reference? We don't need an RFC, but we do need something that is likely to be there next month. An individual informational RFC would work, too.

Another alternative is to do a wink and a nudge and have IODEF say there are things out there for malware identification. One could use something *like* MMDEF which you *might* be able to find at the IEEE-SA industry site. It would be an informative reference, so there would be no violation of IETF rules.  That approach will not promise long-term interoperability, but it is better than nothing.
