Re: My notes on draft-carpenter-newtrk-questions-00.txt

The focus on document relationships rather than on simplifying the standards
track is  what (well, is one  of the things)  that sent newtrk off  into the
weeds. 

Frankly, I don't  care if someone on a desert island  cannot figure out from
the RFCs alone how  to implement some protocol.  I just don't  see that as a
problem we have to solve.   Anyway, implementing a protocol requires so much
more knowledge than can be obtained  from the RFCs that no amount of messing
with the document strategy is going to have any impact on the ability of our
castaway to become a successful implementer. 

it's worth revisiting  the whole ISD/SRD thing with one  new ground rule -
no more work for IESG in steady state

Let  me suggest a  second new  ground rule:  no more  work for  the document
authors, document editors, or the WG chairs.
