To fix this the authors should file a new I-D with a new handle, and
ask the Secretariat to mark the old one superseded by the new one.

The convention for individual-submission I-Ds that *are* primarily
related to a WG (e.g., because the author wants them to adopt the I-D
as a WG work item) to be named draft-authorlastname-wg-stuff.

If "xmss" is related to CFRG, then absolutely,
draft-huelsing-cfrg-xmss-00 would be much more useful than either the
original (draft-xmss-00) or draft-huelsing-xmss-00.  If it's not
related to any WG, then draft-huelsing-xmss-00 may be the best that
can be expected, though even then, maybe
draft-huelsing-security-xmss-00 would be a lot more useful.
