The phrase in question was:
"> Even after expiration the drafts are still alive [...]"
So, let's look at that word:
I think we mean the second sense there in the current text.
": no longer valid : having exceeded its period of validity"
So, are they still alive? Yes, I agree there, although that would be counter to the first sense in that dictionary. Are they invalid in some way? I can't see how, other than the label we put on them. Can they be cited? Yes, we do this regularly.
I still think there is value in getting to stable RFCs, but I favor this draft, because it better describes how I-Ds are used.
thanks,
Rob
