The *** obverwriting xxx message is confusing

[richsalz]

I had this in the prolog:

informative:
  bis2026: I-D.draft-rsalz-2026bis

And I also had an inline reference {{{?bis2026}} I had to send mail to tools-discuss to learn what the message meant :)

[richsalz]

Note that these are two references of the same type, probably benign. References that contradict could be an error if you want.

Thanks!

Two citations of the same reference, one of which is normative with the other one informative is not an error, the actual reference then simply is normative. Conflicting info on the reference might be; I'll check details if you send me the source causing the warning...

[richsalz]

The excerpt I first reported is the only source, a one-character deletion fixed it :).

Oh, are you asking for something like:

normative:
  bis2026: RFC2026
informative:
  bis2026: I-D.draft-rsalz-2026bis

I didn't have that :)
