In order to turn in a draft, we use a tool. The tool could put up a "are you sure" dialog on a -00 where there are too few hyphens in the name, and when the first field is not "ietf" but is also not the name of one of the authors. The dialog could even have a few paragraphs about what is considered common, but still allow the submitter to click through. An RFC for this might be considered too heavy-handed. --Paul Hoffman
