A lot of WGs and WG work items start life as individual submission I-Ds.
The tracker nowadays tracks their transformation into WG work items.
yes, but... there are individual submissions and individual submissions.
A draft named “draft-myname-mytopic” is a draft on mytopic submitted by
byname.
A draft named “draft-myname-targetgroup-mytopic” is a draft on mytopic
submitted by byname to targetgroup.
In the first case, the onus is pretty much on the author to get someone to
read it. In the second case, assuming a working group or other list is
notified, can reasonably expect someone to actually read it.
Sure, because an individual submission I-D will not be updated once
it's replaced by a WG item, so if the premise is to react to
submissions, that works.
Though even then: it's the submitter's job to get the target WG to
adopt that item or the participants to review it independently of the
WG. But if you want to help them get that attention, sure, why not.
