There was also a suggestion to add something to the boilerplate text of individual I-Ds along the lines of "anyone can submit an I-D; they have no formal standing until they are adopted by a group in the IETF or IRTF". Would that provide additional clarification?Oh yes, PLEASE!
concur. Except get rid of the "adopted" bit, because even
assuming that "adoption" of a draft by a WG is useful, it doesn't
imply any kind of broad support from the organization. Just say
that the existence of a draft does not mean it has any formal
standing with IETF or any other organization. Documents with
formal standing in IETF are published as RFCs.
