Individual drafts are supposed to be title draft-OneOfTheAuthorNames-foo-bar-NN. This one didn't meet that rule. From the standpoint of those rules/conventions about naming at least, it is as if I posted something as draft-moonesamy-foobar-00 or draft-carpenter-barfoo-00 in the hope that would get extra attention. That said, the author in this particular case could presumably have posted draft-vesely-spam-reporting-using-imap-kleansed-00 and then persuaded the Secretariat that it replaced draft-ordogh-spam-reporting-using-imap-kleansed-00, thereby causing the latter to be removed from the _active_ I-D repository and moved off to the historical I-D archive. john
