Raise the bar more? Not at all -- that's not what I said. I said that
the bar has *already been raised* so high that many of our I-Ds have
already become fully interoperable before they get an RFC number assigned.
What I said, is that if you *have* interoperability and deployment when
you get the RFC number assigned, go ahead and get published at DS or FS
status.
Unless there are errata, changing the status from PS to DS to FS should
be an administrative task, not a wait-for-full-revision-taking-X-years
chore.
And yes, the above statements are *fully* in line with "use the current
process better."

Raise the bar so they stay at I-D level for even longer? A sizable part
of the Internet is run on I-Ds, not on PS.
I think the right direction is to publish PS earlier. If done right,
it's only six months from there to the DS, you know. (About half of
that time the draft is stuck in the RFC finalization process anyway :-).
(My suggestion would be to stop talking about changing the rules and
instead just find ways to use the current process better.)
Gruesse, Carsten
PS.: And you could spend some time during I-D time already to upgrade
your downrefs to DS :-)
