Re: [Tools-discuss] disappearing IDs on www.ietf.org

[Robert Sparks <[e-mail]>]

Note that the current draft also appears in the archive.

The two different pools come from the notions of having an 
ID-repository, where expired drafts go away, and an ID-archive.

Active IDs are added to the repository and the archive at the same time.

When a draft is expired, revised, or replaced, it is removed from the 
repository of active IDs.
