People could just keep all the IDs on their laptops
at all times.


I've been to too many WGs that say "the latest version of the ID, tweaked last night, is at the following website..." A tarball of
the ID directory is somewhat less useful for those :-)

There is often also supporting material which is determined only at the meeting, such as references, slides, etc. - chasing these down at the meetings has proved useful in the past.

Although there are irony points for holding an off-line networking meeting :-))
