Hi, Been discussing this with the other stream heads and wondered whether there is space for a feature in your To Do list for idnits. I see at https://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/todo that you have an item for cross-checking obsoletion of higher level docs. Could you also check for obsoletes/updates across streams (e.g., an Independent Submission attempts to Obsolete an IETF Stream RFC) and generate a warning such as: "This document attempts to obsolete/update an RFC from another stream. Specific rules may apply to this process, and you will need sign-off from both stream heads before this document can proceed." Very much appreciate the work that the tools team does. Best, Adrian -- Adrian Farrel Independent Submissions Editor (ISE) rfc-ise@rfc-editor.org
