now that we know that the secretariat keeps track of drafts that claim

drafts that say they obsolete another draft get the later deadline.

That would only work if it was "said" in metadata that can be
automatically
verified.
Today, this procedure (letting one I-D obsolete another) is carried out by
the secretariat, manually. I believe the verification step consists of
making sure the draft name is spelled correctly.
In an automated submission tool, we would have to have this be part of the
submission to the tool, of course.
