The IETF makes a clear distinction between individual proposals and documents which have been accepted by a working group. The former are named after their authors. Work is not assigned a number until it is complete. I believe it is important to distinguish complete work that people should be implementing from things which are incomplete, and even more important to distinguish the work of single parties. Otherwise you're going to get crap like BIP90: "Increase the supply of Bitcoins to 210 million" being confused as an earnest proposal supported by many that has traction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
