I am having some difficulty understanding how a change that
makes normative reference to unpublished standards belongs
in SPC-2 and not in SPC-3.  Definition of a target descriptor
for IPv4 has been deferred to SPC-3 and there is nothing
remotely unpublished about IPv4.  Perhaps 01-174r1 should
join 00-398r3 on the to do list for SPC-3.

The public review comment indicated that the new target
descriptor would be in reference to SBP-2, a very published
standard.  Why does the proposed resolution need to reference
unpublished standards?

Thanks.
