So, I think the above text goes a bit far, but it has some points that might be worth incorporating, in the realm of disclaimers. Perhaps: The Internet-Draft circulation mechanism is open for anyone issuing working documents; the documents have no formal status. Some of these documents are in development through the IETF, its areas or its working groups, while others are not sponsored by the IETF and might be entirely unrelated to its efforts. In particular, Internet-Drafts are NOT products of the IETF and should only be cited as "work in progress". d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
