Procedure
Standard Version Upgrade Procedure
This procedure governs how the library transitions from one edition of an external standard it cites to a newer edition (for example, a published revision of an ISO/IEC standard, a new NIST Special Publication revision, or a new COBIT release). It exists because ad-hoc, one-location edits produce drift: a version bumped in the document a maintainer happened to be reading while the same citation stays stale elsewhere, or a plausible-but-nonexistent edition year introduced during a hurried update.
