Re: draft naming was RE: anti-harassment procedures

Folks,

As wg chair I'm not interested in draft with file-names like
draft-farel-farell-mpls-opportunistic-encrypt, the draft will not show
up on the mpls wg webpage, and I will have to hunt drafts all over the
place. draft-farrelll-mpls-opportunistic-encrypt is much better.

/Loa

When trying to locate drafts by author name, or pick up on primary authors for 
indexing, or indicate drafts from memory, this cutesiness really doesn't help. 
Cut it out, Adrian.

If you don't actually want your name on a draft (and the need for anonymous 
draft submission seems as if it could be useful?) 'Smithee,' as used by film 
directors, seems a reasonable thing to adopt.
