This message is only about the datatracker proper. I will bring rfcdiff 
up in another thread.

The good news is that the datatracker code is already using the 
repository correctly almost everywhere.

Looking through the codebase, I find only two places were we point into 
tools.ietf.org for draft content.

The first I don't _think_ is actively used. It's in draft/util, when run 
manually to extract metadata from draft contents.

The second is for talking about expired drafts.

Please look at
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-housley-evidence-extns/

It currently says:
This Internet-Draft is no longer active. Unofficial copies of old 
Internet-Drafts can be found here:
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-housley-evidence-extns

How should that be modified? Do we leave "Unofficial copies" and just 
change the URL to
http://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-housley-evidence-extns-01.txt
?

Or do we wait until we've ported the index and search functionality from 
tools so that could be just
http://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-housley-evidence-extns
?

Do we change the sentence that says "Unofficial copies of" to say 
"Copies of"?

Or do we show the contents of the draft from the archive (since we have it)
along with something to make it visually distinct?
(Possibly with a big [EXPIRED] marking)?
