OK.. curiosity has overcome me - what status did you *intend* for the
document to have? I see two different interpretations here:
1) "It's valid as an I-D for 6 months and if it's not progressed by then,
I want it to dissapear"
2) "If it doesn't progress as an I-D, it's withdrawn off the I-D track but
still usable as historic information".
I'm looking at case 2 as similar to granting one-time rights to a journal
to publish an interview, but people reading it in the back issues for years
to come....
