This is always a problem and unlikely to be solved.

Legal department is not typically (directly) involved in this, but we
(Broadcom) have a regulatory department. However, there are OEMs
involved as well and some do their own FCC/regulatory certification. The
reason why I suggested adding references in the database is that I
wanted to get our regulatory department involved to validate at least
the correctness of the reference itself. Ideally, I would want them to
look at the rules itself.

I think John relies on community members watching the mailing list that
are affiliated with the chip vendors. Especially, when the url takes him
to some ukranian document :-)
