+1.  We haven't maintained that list in the past and it seems unlikely
that we'll get better at it.

I'm a little dubious about the "Technical References" list right below
it, too.  The RFC references are probably useful and stable, and maybe
the wikipedia ref is OK, but I have little faith in either the
stability or the long-term relevance of the other two links.
