There was a suggestion recently to not serve I-Ds from ietf.org domains until they were adopted by the IETF. Do you think serving individual drafts from another domain would help make that distinction clearer?

The very notion of "adoption" of a draft by the IETF (or at least by a working group) is a Bad Idea, as it tends to indicate an assumed direction for the WG that isn't yet reflected by a deep understanding of the draft or its implications, and makes it harder for a WG to change direction.     WGs should be able to entertain alternate proposals at any time prior to a post-WGLC consensus, without any built-in presumption that some particular draft will be the basis for the eventual solution.

So no, please don't do this.
