A working group draft is a starting point, not a direction.

Where I disagree is that it's "obvious" to the WG participants that the WG is free to change its mind and that alternative proposals are still welcome.   IMO, hosting non "adopted" drafts at a separate domain would reinforce the perception that the "adopted" drafts are already endorsed by the WG or IETF, and IMO this would be a Bad Thing.
