[Standards] Off-by-one error in XEP-372 "References"

[Severino Ferrer de la Peñita]

Hi,

I already discussed this with the author, you can read more about it on the following logs: https://logs.xmpp.org/jdev/2020-10-06?p=h#2020-10-06-f8688aaa95f97e76

I honestly don't believe `i+1` is correct.
Could you please share some of that feedback, Andrew? 


Kind regards,
