Why enforce this as an RFC? In order to turn in a draft, we use a tool. The 
tool could put up a "are you sure" dialog on a -00 where there are too few 
hyphens in the name, and when the first field is not "ietf" but is also not the 
name of one of the authors. The dialog could even have a few paragraphs about 
what is considered common, but still allow the submitter to click through.

An RFC for this might be considered too heavy-handed.
