In a discussion of draft-ietf-l1vpn-basic-mode-04.txt for secdir, I 
reported that that the nit checker showed 7 nits.  Adrian Farrell said:

>Hmmm. I wonder which nit checker you used.
>http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ only reports one warning to me as a
>referenced I-D has subsequently been published as an RFC.

to which I replied:

   I looked at the page:
   http://www3.tools.ietf.org/wg/l1vpn/draft-ietf-l1vpn-basic-mode/
   which reports:


    2008-02-21 16:40 draft-ietf-l1vpn-basic-mode-04.txt
   [txt/plain]  [txt/pdf]  [nits]  [diff -from-03, wdiff, txt]
     (7 errors (**), 0 warnings (==), 0 comments (--).)

   Clicking on the nits link gets you to:
...


     ** Downref: Normative reference to an Unknown state RFC: RFC 3471

     ** Downref: Normative reference to an Unknown state RFC: RFC 3473

     ** Downref: Normative reference to an Unknown state RFC: RFC 3477

     ** Downref: Normative reference to an Unknown state RFC: RFC 4202

     ** Downref: Normative reference to an Unknown state RFC: RFC 4204

     ** Downref: Normative reference to an Unknown state RFC: RFC 4206

     ** Downref: Normative reference to an Unknown state RFC: RFC 4208


        Summary: 7 errors (**), 0 warnings (==), 0 comments (--).


And Adrian noted:


Interesting.
http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ is at revision 2.08.08

The page you used is at revision 2.08.04

>  ** Downref: Normative reference to an Unknown state RFC: RFC 3471

Bug in the tool :-(
The RFC clearly states...
Category: Standards Track


And I volunteered to alert the Tools Team.

Hopefully, this is the right address to use for such alerts.
