One is when material is not posted directly to an IETF list, rather a
URL is provided in an e-mail to a WG list, pointing to a Word or pdf
document or a page on a web site.  Do the contents of such a document
count as a Contribution?  Can I use the text from such a document in
my own I-D?  RFC 5378 et al would suggest not.

I'm pretty sure you still can't use the source code to Windows or
articles from the WSJ in your drafts.  A URL is like a footnote.
You're welcome to copy the URL itself, not what it points to.

Re the IRTF. I always operated on the assumption that the note well
applied on the ASRG lists and wiki, but I also don't recall formal
statements to that effect.

R's,
