Brian,
Its not just the disappearing link to the abstracts, it's the entire
organization of the site and the attitude that anyone that has any business
working with the IETF already knows where everything is.
I don't like playing twenty questions to find pieces of information
that should be presented clearly.
You reply with yet another piece of insider information.
The Web site is the front door to the organization. For the past ten
years it has been treated as an afterthought.

So, Phill, how about a polite note to ietf-web(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org or
ietf-action(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org suggesting that they add a link to
1id-abstracts.txt and to the ftp directory to the page at
http://www.ietf.org/ID.html?
Incidentally, if you type 'abstracts' into the search box at
www.ietf.org, the first hit is the 1id-abstracts page.

Look for the abstracts and all I can find is the database interface.
If its not in the index it does not exist.

Phillip,
Did you mean
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/1id-abstracts.txt ? It's
still there, as always. 1id-index.txt is also there.
Cheers,
Andy
