as in many other things, the IETF doesn't have a history of complete consistency.....
in the case of an existing WG abandoning an I-D, I'm sure that the next version of the I-D should be named draft-myfavouriteauthor-something (where "something" can easily contain the WG name if so desired).
Sometimes, when a WG is closed with outstanding I-Ds, and some of these are finished as individual submissions, we have allowed them to be updated keeping the old draft name. But that's the exception.
Makes sense?

Hi all,
I am looking for procedural guidance on the naming convention to be followed for an Internet-Draft that has been adopted as a WG item and that has therefore been granted a name like draft-mybelovedwg-blabla-XX.txt but that is now returning to the individual submission status - be it that the WG finally abandoned this WG item after more technical investigations, that the WG rechartered making this former WG item now out of scope, etc.
Thus, this Internet-Draft should probably revert to a filename similar to draft-myfavoriteauthor-blibli-YY.txt, shouldn't it?
I couldn't unfortunately find any relevant text on this (though I tried RFC 2026 and http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.txt) :-(
Any feedback most welcome, Many thanks in advance,
Florent
