Unless you want to specifically reference the version -01, you should be using the “series” URL:

https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml3/reference.I-D.ihren-dnsext-threshold-validation.xml

Now, interestingly, both

https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml3/reference.I-D.draft-ihren-dnsext-threshold-validation-00.xml

and

https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml3/reference.I-D.draft-ihren-dnsext-threshold-validation-01.xml

are 404, which sounds like a daemon didn’t do its job properly some time in 2004.

(Compare with, say, 

https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml3/reference.I-D.draft-ietf-cbor-cddl-00.xml
To
https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml3/reference.I-D.draft-ietf-cbor-cddl-08.xml
As well as
https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml3/reference.I-D.ietf-cbor-cddl.xml

which are the version-specific references as well as the series one.  Note that these all anchor to I-D.ietf-cbor-cddl, so you cannot have multiple version specific references to the same draft or one of these and the series reference in the same document unless you rewrite, e.g., the way kramdown-rfc can do for you.)
