I cannot answer that specifically but we need to rely on PKWARE to keep this as accurate as possible.  The link has been broken several times by PKWare so  I think the best that we can do is keep checking.

We are pointing to ZLIB RFC 1950. Do you think we should add a `@spec` entry to point to http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT? Of course as a separate PR.

Good Question,   let's discuss and handle separately as I don't know the history of why it was not included
