I think I overstated what I was looking for. I often see requests
like "I saw -03, this is -05, what as -04 and what has changed?" on
the mailing lists. I was just thinking that a section like this would
help (names are just examples)
Change history:
draft-ietf-dxs-odorimeter-05 25-jun-2007 removed indirect virtual
mode as no-one understood it
draft-ietf-dxs-odorimeter-04 3-may-2007 spelling fixes, changed
draft name
draft-ietf-dxs-sense-03 2-may-2007 accepted by the DXS WG
draft-mordred-sense-02 1-apr-2007 fixed boilerplate
material including copyright
draft-mordred-sense-01 2-feb-2007 merged in
draft-morgan-sniffer-04 as the two were sim.
draft-mordred-sense-00 8-jan-2007 initial version
Doesn't seem like this would be hard to make; it could be 'expected
but not required'...
it's a fine thing if people want to do it; I just don't want to make it
a requirement. it is already too difficult to publish an
Internet-Draft, and this kind of requirement has the potential for
getting way out of hand. for instance, I wouldn't want someone to
raise a process issue if the required change history of a WG draft
omitted mention of some change that was significant.
