The problem is that even the area-level working groups have to positively
adopt new drafts. I don't know the numbers of ad-sponsored, and pre-WG
drafts there are, but if they were effectively forced onto an area-level
working group as a working group of last resort, and would just die on the
vine if there was no interest, then there would always be a discussion
venue.
And no, I'm not saying that's a perfect solution.
Nevertheless, for drafts that clearly belong to an area, it's much better
than nothing. And *this* list ought to be the place for drafts or ideas
that really don't fit naturally into any single area. You might even think
that the most innovative and unconventional ideas that only belong here
are exactly the most important ones.
(On a practical note, when I have occasion to react to a random draft
that doesn't indicate a discussion venue, I ask the authors "Where is
this being discussed?")
