[Icar] File naming to help trigger review

Another one where a comment in another discussion triggered one of my
buttons...

   In other groups I have seen the use of the naming scheme 
   draft-person-icar-xxx used to reflect this stage of the process.

As a potential cross-fertilization reviewer, I find the current naming
standard for drafts as a bit bothersome in this area.  It's often very
hard to distinguish between a set of proposals that are related to an
existing WG, and the sometimes completely random independent offerings
that use the same convention.

Sometimes drafts that would benefit most from early review are when
there are several proposals, which have not yet been decided between.
But, with this convention, these look just like kook submissions and
it's hard for a potential reviewer to pick up on this.  In fact, when
there are several options, it would be nice to see it because review
from outside the WG might notice, for example, that one fits really
well with some other work, while another would interfere with a
protocol nearing WGLC and thus interfere with it later.

I agree that the draft names may not be the best place to encode this,
but right now they're all we have...  I suggest that this is another
area of "ID status" that this WG should think about...
