I asked in the editors group. The advice seems to be that as long as
there is an *immutable* version of a document that we want to refer to
as normative we can regardless of its provenance. The key being the
*immutable* version aspect. For semver it would mean referring to
<https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html>, or whatever specific version we
want. I.e. I think it's possible for semver. Which is great! As it
means that it gives us more flexibility. Especially in the ongoing
JSON vs. TOML arguments as the latter also has versioned definitions
(<https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0>).
