hmm... the only time this is referenced is in a note section, so it shouldn't count as a normative reference - not sure why ReSpec doesn't do that automatically.

Doesn't look useful to file in this current shape in any case

There are a number of links to "HTTP Cache" that are really just links to RFC7234 (and should probably re-written as such, because it is not good practice to have an "HTTP Cache" link to the entry in the references section), for example in fetchStart. These links are all in the Obsolete section, but then this section remains normative.

Doesn't look useful to file in this current shape in any case

I don't disagree that something more specific about the above links would be better!
