This announcement is for a document that will obsolete RFC3548, which  
is referenced by a couple APPS area RFCs:  XMPP (RFC3920) and Atom  
Syntax (RFC4287).

There are also a few drafts that reference RFC3548 that caught my eye:

  - draft-ietf-nntpext-base, which is in RFC ED queue
  -  draft-josefsson-sasl-gs2-00
  - draft-otis-dkim-options-00
  - draft-snell-atompub-author-extensions-00

thanks,
Lisa
