On the difference of Draft vs Rant.

A draft is submitted via the IETF website, versioned, subject to the 
restrictions described in the relevant RFCs and processes and accessible 
to THE ENTIRE INTERNET COMMUNITY via the ietf website.

Something restricted by the author based on arbitrary criteria and 
accessible via an arbitrary mechanism is a rant.

This is regardless of the mechanism being NetBIOS, IPX, RFC1149 or 
RFC2549. All are equally good for ranting and selective presentation 
only to the chosen ones.

So if ranting is desired, the rantee can go and rant wherever he/she 
likes over whatever protocol he/she likes, it is not an IETF, IETF WG or 
IETF mailing list matter.
