Re: draft-bradner-rfc-extracts-00 and the risk of "false RFCs"

So then what happens when the original authors try and rework their
document? now there are two separate documents with the same identity
progressing... Really smart eh? - So then no one ever really needs to draft
a I-D - just pick some RFC and strip ALL of the content out of it and
install new content.

Just as Scott says, there is nothing in the IETF process to prevent this
type of Hijack.
