Alessandro:
If an I-D is posted with secret text, then the secret is disclosed. I-D are
copied to many shadow repositories all over the world. So, removing the I-D
from ietf.org will not remove the secret text from the Internet.
Please explain what you mean by inappropriate boilerplate? The I-D submission
process checks the boilerplate.

The first paragraph says:
Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) are working documents of the IETF, its Areas,
and its Working Groups. In addition, other groups, including the IAB
and the IRTF Research Groups, distribute working documents as I-Ds.
After all the groups, I'd add "and individuals".

Obviously factors like how long after the I-D is submitted might need to
be considered.
Except for I-Ds that reveal secret text, infringements should only
result from inappropriate boilerplate copyright claims. It would be
enough to tag such I-Ds with a suitable disclaimer, in a way similar
to how the presence of errata is (not) handled.
