Chuckle.  The existing reference is in the final sentence of the preceding
paragraph.  That's a bit closer than one would use a second reference.  You
may have missed it because you accidentally remembered the wrong number:

    ...  (See [ISO10589],
    [RFC1195], and [RFC5342] for further details.)

    Typically, IS-IS implementations base the identifier on an existing   |
    Media Access Control (MAC) link-layer interface identifier.  The      |
    48-bit MAC is usually composed of a 24-bit Organizationally Unique    |
    Identifier (OUI) followed by a 24-bit Network Interface Controller    |
    (NIC) specific number.
