[saag] Re: [rfc-i] RFCs vs Standards

["StJohns, Michael" <[e-mail]>]

I hate that maneuver.  Instead, let’s just use the text of the ID at the
time of request with a change in the boiler plate specific to the IANA
specification required model.   Have the IANA - as it already seems to do -
act as a document repository for the stable reference associated with the
code point.  To be clear, the document in the IANA repo is not an ID even
if it shares text with one.

That makes it clear exactly what the code point applies to, without begging
the question of whether an ID is a citeable stable document.
