Unhelpful draft names

Hi,

It's one of those three days in the year when we get hundreds of drafts announced
in succession, which makes the job of deciding which drafts a person needs to
read harder than ever.

I have no idea what draft-xmss-00.txt is about and have no plans to find
out. But it seems to me that we have a fairly strong convention that
non-WG drafts should be named something like
 draft-<author>-<generalTopic>-<specificTopic>
where the generalTopic is often a WG name, if there is a relevant WG.

Now I realise we don't want to be too rigid, e.g. the author component
is sometimes ymbk or farresnickel, but should we have a bit more enforcement
in the tools, at least such that draft-oneWord-00 would not be acceptable?
