Re: [Ietf-and-github] Tracking drafts

they are "done".  The reason for my comment is that with folks pointing 
to github more often, I think it is important to emphasis the 
helpfulness of posting that initial draft.

Yours,

It is, if you will, a request for comments, and a viewpoint that may evoke dispute or commentary, but is designed to bring the group a step closer to consensus on a problem.
