I would like to propose that we re-format Internet-Drafts such that  
the boilerplate (status and copyright) is moved to the back of the  
draft, and the abstract moves up to page 1.

I don't believe that there are any legal implications to moving our  
IPR information to the back of the document, and it would be great not  
to have to page down at the beginning of every I-D to skip over it.   
If someone wants to check the licensing details, they could look at  
the end of the document.
