It's been my experience that expired I-Ds are not taken as serious proposals; that renewing an I-D even with minor changes provides some indication that a draft is still being maintained; and that this is a useful if somewhat imprecise metric. So I'm opposed to eliminating expiration dates on I-Ds. I think it's an example of action bias that requires a significant amount of work to accomplish nothing useful. Keith p.s. OTOH, if we had the idea to set up some new kind of document that is a living document, subject to continuous modification, but with a mechanism to take snapshots and cite them, I might be in favor of that. Even better would be if such documents were editable via an etherpad-like mechanism, and authors/editors never had to deal with xml2rfc.
