just a heads up.   if any of my expired drafts show up that predate IETF 
copyright, expect a takedown notice.

I hope you're aware that ISOC ceded its rights to the IETF Trust,
so drafts carrying the ISOC copyright wording should belong to the IETF too.

i am pretty sure you will get the same type of response from Joe Touch.

Interesting, Warren.

I used to use waterspring and still have an annoying bookmark that 
autocompletes when I start to type www.wat...

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 residual value would be retrieving the archive of old I-Ds and I am

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 site.

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.
