Not sure if this is in-scope for PESCI or not...

I had a coversation with Brian in the Vancouver timeframe about some process 
ID (doesn't matter which), during which Brian asked me, (paraphrasing) 
"given that publishing this process document as a BCP/RFC makes it harder to 
modify, and increases the expense of publishing it at all, should we just 
publish this process document on a website and declare victory?".

We already have some process specs (including some "rfcxxxxbis" process 
specs) that look like they will live forever as drafts, including drafts on 
websites. It might be lovely to figure out how to know whether a process ID 
should be published in archival form or not, and, if not, where it SHOULD be 
published, in a consistent way.

Thanks,

Spencer
