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 }
No, because ABNF quoted strings denote case-insensitive matching,
whereas draft filenames are prohibited from containing upper-case
letters. So you would need something like %x64.72.61.66.74
instead of "draft", %x69.65.74.66 instead of "ietf", and comments
about the upper-case prohibition regarding author names, etc.
Also, I believe that the "=" in the first line is a typo.
With the proposed restriction of characters to lower-case letters,
digits, and hyphen, there would probably have to be additional
commentary regarding author names (some of which contain accented
letters or use non-Latin scripts), topics, and titles.
Finally, version needs to be defined, e.g.:
version = 2DIGIT ; starting with 00
