There is an aspect of the deadline that is helpful for me, even when the
deadline is not rigidly enforced.
The presence of the deadline means that the bulk of I-Ds are in by the
deadline, and are out by not too long after the deadline. This means that
I can collect announcements for I-Ds of interest and have time to read the
I-Ds across most of the range of working groups that I try to stay current on.
If working groups as a matter of course published I-Ds within a few days of
the meeting, it would be almost impossible for me to read most of what I
need to in order to be an informed participant.
Yours,
Joel

A simpler rule is that the working group gets to decide its deadlines and
what will be discussed at the meeting. (All of this is predicated on
moving towards fully automated I-D issuance.)
