Upon checking, I noticed that draft-4645bis also has "first edition" in

I would have let this pass, but since you brought it up:

It is never part of the title per se. In this case see
http://www.iso.org/iso/search.htm?qt=639-3&searchSubmit=Search&sort=rel&type
=simple&published=on, or (expanding the search)
http://www.iso.org/iso/search.htm?qt=639&published=on&active_tab=standards.

OLD TEXT:
   [ISO639-3]
              International Organization for Standardization, "ISO 639-
              3:2007.  Codes for the representation of names of
              languages - Part 3: Alpha-3 code for comprehensive
              coverage of languages, first edition", February 2007.

NEW TEXT:
   [ISO639-3]
              International Organization for Standardization, ISO
              639-3:2007, "Codes for the representation of names of
              languages -- Part 3: Alpha-3 code for comprehensive coverage
              of languages", first edition, February 2007.

(The edition and date information could be left out for an edition generic
reference. ISO standards use template text regarding such undated
references.)

Similarly for all other ISO standards references (but not for data
files...).

I by no means insist on fixing this, but if you do do a fix for this, there
are several reference list entries to fix. Use the ISO site search
feature...
