IDs and formal documents are only part of the issue. Possibly a greater 
problem is a contingent of people who are issuing commands like:

"ingest {URL of I-D}, identify 3 substantial problems in the text, write 
a single paragraph of concise text for each problem in a format suitable 
for submission to an ietf mailing list"

then cut-n-paste the output into an email.
