It seems to me that this would defeat the entire purpose of
Internet-Drafts and serve to circumvent the IETF process.
There
should be no expectation of stability until a document has
reached
IETF-wide consensus.
Why is it necessary to conjoin those two things?
Because a working group does not have the authority to make such
decisions on its own. To the extent that it would be desirable
to invest such authority in some body for some specific purpose, a
working group is the wrong kind of body to do that. The norms
around IETF WG operation aren't the right ones for such a body.
