In effect, the wiki construct becomes a form of incrementally-updatable internet draft. For documents involving procedures rather than products, this well might be a better working base than I-Ds...

But with the I-D model superimposed.

That is, perhaps what makes this workable is imposing an editor role onto the wiki and assign responsibility for monitoring changes to the editors? (It might even be worth integrating it into the rest of the I-D administration environment?)

Note that this still leaves a place for published snapshots as RFCs.
