I thought about this some more. I really want to be able to
point people to the copy within github.
That's much more useful than the copy in the docs.oasis since
with that one can not e.g. see the differences between versions.
How about linking to the releases directory?

diff --git a/README.md b/README.md
index a4fdc4e..d40f095 100644
--- a/README.md

 <h3>Description</h3>
 
-<p>This repository includes the authoritative source of the VIRTIO (Virtual I/O) Specification document.
+<p>This repository includes the <a href="https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/releases";>authoritative source</a> of the VIRTIO (Virtual I/O) Specification document.
 

Would this address the issue?
