Overall I like this--enough wiggle-room to deal with situations we cannot foresee now, but still sufficient guidance for the IESGs to come. One small issue, inline.

It's quite likely, if there really were a court order to remove an I-D from public access, that there is also a demand to destroy any copies.

In other words, IESG common sense is enough to remove an I-D from the publicly accessible archive, but it takes a court order to remove it for good. >[...] >
