The solution lies in the hands of the document shepherd, to drop a note to the mailing list explaining what the new I-D is for. Some are good at it, getting the e-mail out before the I-D announcement hits the list; others are not. More sophisticatedly, the announcement could flag that this I-D has now passed from the WG to the AD, IESG etc. and that suggested enhancements are no longer welcome.
