Wouldn't another option be to allow for multiple ways to write things,
as long as they are consistently written in the same style for the same
purpose?

I prefer writing DEP 4711 in text.

I prefer writing https://example.org/dep4711.txt in URLs.

I prefer writing [DEP-4711] as a reference keyword.

The main trouble now seems like the styles aren't used consistently, so
references can look like [DEP4711] and [DEP-4711] and [DEP 4711] in an
inconsistent way.  Fixing that seems more important than uniforming all
possible expressions.
