Yes, exactly.

I don't know if we would want to remove author email addresses from RFCs, but
it sure would be nice to draw attention to the DT alias, and I don't think we
do much in the production process.  That's kinda a second order issue though.
Getting the DT aliases to work consistently is the first issue.

Coolness.

So what's up with draft-ietf-pkix-est@
or I'd have thought it would be rfc7030@

and I keep wondering if we shouldn't put it at @doc.ietf.org or something
like that rather than @ietf.org, as the list will keep growing, and
maybe we want to have different spam filtering policies.
