Dear David and Leo, Thank you for your feedback. The initial version of the proposal focusses only on references to obsolete RFCs. Your suggestion of a direct reference the "IANA IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry" instead of referencing the RFC sounds reasonable. If the Working Group feels that more updates to current references would improve the IPv4 policy, I will be happy to take this into account for an adjusted proposal version.
