On a personal note: I agree with Ole, it is redundant to split it all up and in the long run it could also lead to discrepancies between the two. Stick with referring to 6104 and be done with it. Questions or comments on the exact profile can be directed at the IETF, making it the same with the references to 3Gpp.
