At the time that waterspring was set up we didn't archive old versions of
I-Ds and once an I-D had expired it disappeared (related issues, but
separately annoying). That is no longer the case, so the (UI aside) the main

Yes, actually I was just about to post a note calling for helping finding some
list archives from 1996-2000 that appear to be mostly missing from the IETF

The same thing applies to lots of old I-D. These can be critically useful in
knocking out nuisance patents. We need them very, very much.
