Their abbreviation list
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/materials/abbrev.expansion.txt> doesn't
include references, and just flags certain abbreviations with an
asterisk, meaning that they don't always expect them to be expanded.
It's clear that in routing documents, everyone knows what DAG and
DODAG are, and insisting that they be expanded doesn't accomplish
much.  Also, not expanding them doesn't eliminate the need for a
reference when it's appropriate; it's the difference between "blah
blah DODAG [RFC6550]" and "blah blah Destination-Oriented Directed
Acyclic Graph (DODAG) [RFC6550]".

I think it should be Álvaro who makes the request, but, yes, it's just
a matter of sending a note to the RFC Editor.
