[rtcweb] Referring to 5245bis or 5245?

[Sean Turner <[e-mail]>]

ekr’s discuss on draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview has raised whether drafts should refer to RFC 5245 or draft-ietf-ice-rfc5245bis.  We only need to normatively refer to 5245bis if a technical part of 5245bis needs to be read and implemented in order to implement the referring draft.  We have 7 drafts that refer to RFC 5245 and 2  that refer to draft-ietf-rfc5245bis:

draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview: As noted in my response to ekr’s discuss position [0], the chairs believe that the reference to “ICE” in the ICE Agent definition should be to RFC 5245.

draft-ietf-rtcweb-transports: Likewise, the chairs believer that a reference to RFC 5245 is also appropriate in transports.  This draft was changed in version -17 to refer to 5245bis.  From GH: "The drafts -bundle and -dualstack-fairness both depend on 5245bis according to Cullen's chart in 'rtcweb-deps-13', and we already have a normative dependency from -transport on these.  So consistency of the bundle is improved by referencing 5245bis."
