[Tools-discuss] handling of Working group label in ietf.org hosted output

[Michael Richardson <[e-mail]>]

Due to cargo-culting and copy and paste I have:

   wg: anima Working Group

in my markdown, which results in:
   <workgroup>anima Working Group</workgroup>

I happened to notice in the HTML output hosted on ietf.org/id/ how prominent
this is, and how easily it could be used to confuse people into thinking my
document had been adopted, when it was still an individual submission.

Clearly, I should conscientiously put something else there.
1) what should I put?  I think that "independant submission" would make
sense.

2) I think that the result should be driven by the datatracker.

My suggestion is that the xml2rfc converter have an command line override for
this element, such that the actual value for Internet-drafts can be driven by
the datatracker rather than the author.

This is not a new problem, btw.  I think that it was just wasn't so obvious
in tools.ietf.org, because the included header in the htmlized output made
that WG label a lot less obvious.
