Tunneling in fastStart?

(While reviewing H.323v4 for a tunneling thread over on the implementors
reflector, I noticed a few unrelated things that concern me to varying
degrees. I'll discuss them in separate emails to make it easier to follow
the ensuing threads.)

Annexes E and F in H.323v4 are dependent on normative behavior defined in
H.323v2 (see below for examples). Besides being rather strange, is this even
possible because the ITU-T only publishes a single version of a
Recommendation at any one time. For example, when v4 is Decided and
published, there is no v3, v2 or v1. How can one implement H.323v4 when v2
(or v3 or v1) is not officially available or even in existence?

Annex E: "H.245 shall be transmitted using the H.323 version 2 (1998) H.245
Tunnelling procedures."
Annex F: "If further H.245 signalling is required, they shall perform
tunnelling as defined in Recommendation H.225.0 (1998)."
