this is in line with some other postings, and I think it is quite a good summary. retaining version history is a nice touch.
in terms of naming, I think syntactically it reduces to:
I-D-Name = "draft-" owner "-" category "=" title "-" version
owner = author-name / "ietf"
; who retains change control
author-name = { last name of first author }
category = working-group / topic
working-group = { IETF working group }
topic = { term under which I-D topic fits}
title = { text specific to this I-D, to describe it }
* Version 0 must be submitted some extra amount of time before an IETF meeting.
* Use of the working group name is authorized by the working group chair and represents an explicit hand-off of change-control for the document, to the IETF.
* If a working group goes defunct, prior to RFC publication of the I-D, "ownership" reverts to the authors.
