In the URI


https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml3/reference.I-D.card-drip-reqs.xml?anchor=drip-reqs

the "anchor" query parameter doesn't seem to be used; the XML is:

<reference anchor="I-D.card-drip-reqs">

So, as anchor you'll need to use "I-D.card-drip-reqs". The
<displayreference> just changes what's displayed in the references.

You are not supposed to :-)

<displayreference> only affects *display*. See
