Re: MARID back from the grave?

Should there be provision in this naming scheme 
for the merging of two individual drafts into
one wg draft ?

this is in line with some other postings, and I think it is quite a good 
summary.  retaining
version history is a nice touch.

in terms of naming, I think syntactically it reduces to:


  I-D-Name       =  "draft-" owner "-" category "=" title "-" version
 
  owner          =  author-name / "ietf"
                   ; who retains change control

  author-name    = { last name of first author }
 
  category       =  working-group / topic 

  working-group  = { IETF working group }

  topic          = { term under which I-D topic fits}

  title          = { text specific to this I-D, to describe it }

 
 * Version 0 must be submitted some extra amount of time before an IETF 
meeting.

 * Use of the working group name is authorized by the working group chair and 
represents an
explicit hand-off of change-control for the document, to the IETF.

 * If a working group goes defunct, prior to RFC publication of the I-D, 
"ownership" reverts to
the authors.
