Yaron, > - Only non-expired drafts should be directly accessible from the tools area, or in fact have a stable IETF URL. Everything at tools.ietf.org is volunteer-maintained and unofficial. That's why the I-D announcements contain the URL that they do, which only allows you to recover the given version until it expires or is updated. If you quote http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-something or http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-something *without* the version number, you get the latest version. That's what I usually quote for external (non-IETF) use, so that the recipient will always see the latest. > Expired drafts will still be kept around, but will require a (freely available) "tools" login. This would be highly inconvenient, and the Google cache defeats its purpose anyway. I think we have an ideal setup right now (for I-Ds that is; I have given up worrying about the standards track, since the IETF is clearly incapable of consensus on this aspect).
