Are you sure?

For example, can an “Experimental" RFC update an RFC at “Standard”?    Can an 
RFC from one Stream update an RFC in another Stream?   Lots of other cases come 
to mind.

This seems a lot more subtle than any RFC can update any other RFC.

<tp>

I agree.  A case in point is RFC8966 which deprecates TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 and 
updates rather a lot of RFC in doing so.  Some of these are ISE and the 
permission of the ISE Editor was sought, and obtained, before going ahead so I 
do not think that any I-D from one stream can update any I-D from another.
