I can't speak for others, but the number of times I've heard people
say "I will introduce a draft" and nothing happened (indeed, the
number of times I've done that myself) makes me completely ignore such
remarks.  Don't tell me you will write a draft.  Write one.

I still have no idea, frankly, what your problem is.  You have
basically two options.  One is to respond to the extant WG draft,
identifying sections and writing perhaps a paragraph about why such
sections are bad, and noting that you think an entirely different
proposal is in order.  You could even put a sketch of such a proposal
together.  See whether people like it.  Alternatively, you can offer
text for the _particular bits_ that you think problematic.

> the WG, was annouced well in advance

There is exactly one way to announce a draft: upload it to the I-D
repository.  Everything else is just announcement of possible future
states that might never happen.

That makes two of us, but perhaps for different reasons.
