Yep, "updates" is inaccurate here:  --> s/updates/obsoletes/
(I just notified an author of 3761bis about this inaccuracy as I "stole" 
that sentence from 3761bis before suggesting it to James...)

To obsolete a document one needs to refer to it. I don't see a reason why 
this should not be permitted. There are many examples which include a 
reference to the document they obsolete, e.g.

   http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5226
