For X.680/X.690, referencing the latest versions is not problematic. 

They are freely available from
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/languages/

For other ITU-T documents, in particular X.500 series documents, we
need to stick with 2nd edition revisions (e.g, circa 1993).

Verification of the ASN.1 using available checkers would
be appreciated.

Sebastien Castano from the ITU TSB will keep you informed as soon as the work is done and published on the ITU website so that you can hyperlink to the module database.

I note that as the ASN.1 is often used and distributed
separately from the RFC, we likely should apply the MIB
copyright guidelines:
   http://www.ietf.org/IESG/STATEMENTS/MIB-COPYRIGHT.txt
so that the ISOC copyright appears in the ASN.1.

Good idea. We will add this copyright statement at the end of the ASN.1 modules defined in RFCs before they are pretty-printed. But what kind of copyright statement would you like to see for Jim's I-D?
