Re: [nfsv4] WG Last Call for Extension and Minor Versions, Extended Attributes, and ACLs / Umask - Ends Dec 2nd 2016

Even though David responded, the question is for the document authors.

My apologies for being opaque about "stable reference".

The  POSIX-1003.1e normative reference makes it appear that it is a Posix
standards document while in the content of the reference it does state
"withdrawn" - confusing.

The other problem is that I cannot quickly locate a copy of that document
and if it is going to be a normative reference then it needs to
be reasonably available.

I understand that it is a defacto standard at this point given the
implementation.

My main point is that if it is going to be a reference a target needs to
exist and the naming should likely be changed to remove the implication
that it is a Posix standard.

As mentioned, if the reference is not needed based on the contents of the
I-D, then the I-D can be reworded and references removed or changed.
