We can drop these references in that case.  Proposal:

---

Section 10.1

From:
[802.1d]  ISO/IEC 15802-3 Information technology - Telecommunications
          and information exchange between systems - Local and
          metropolitan area networks - Common specifications - Part 3:
          Media access Control (MAC) Bridges, (also ANSI/IEEE Std
          802.1D-1998), 1998.

To: <omit>

Section 10.1

From:
[1394]    Standard for a High Performance Serial Bus.  Institute of
          Electrical and Electronic Engineers, IEEE Standard 1394-1995,
