        last time I went through this w/ my legal advisor,
        the general thrust was that the publication of the
        ID involved a "contractual" set of obligations on
        the parties.  When I allowed ISOC/IETF to publish
        my draft, they agreed tocertain terms/conditions.
        One of those terms/conditions was a limited period
        of publication, after which, the rights revert back
        to the author(s).
