Re: [Tools-discuss] Serving a partial documents (was Re: [rfc-i] Citing drafts)

I agree it makes sense to serve the full document now, but I also think having a link for just the ‘document status’ would be useful.  I don’t care how fast your link is, you don’t want to keep refreshing some honkin’ long draft just to see if the SECDIR person finished their review, especially if it’s your draft.

So, I _think_ the way the main document page behaves now was intended to
protect people on low bandwidth or expensive bandwidth connections from
very large documents.

Is that still something we should consider important? Or would it be
better if the main page served the whole document all the time?

I think that's largely unnecessary at this time, especially given that a lot of people currently go to tools which serves the whole thing
