The core of the PEP does not require packaging or PyPI.  The Specification
section is the most important part of the PEP.  Yes, that does mention
parse_version() from PEP 386, and the Version metadata field from PEP 345, but
I think those cross-references are fine, because it's just referring to the
information contained there.
