The IETF list itself was split from one list to discussion and announcements. I don't see why announcements can't be split to IDs and all other announcements. People would still get ID announcements to their WG lists of the particular ones they find pertinant and would still see Last Calls to

My view is that accuracy requirements for timestamps are a matter for the application. E.g. in an email archive, a timestamp that is accurate within a few minutes may be OK, for an e-commerce transaction log I would hope for sub-second accuracy. I don't think it is something this document can

I don't really care if they are split -- I can as easily re-join them in my inbox. But I do find the discussion has unearthed something that rather disturbs me... hyperfocus on drafts only in your own WG's strikes me as dangerous. A lot of stuff (even relevant stuff!) comes out as personal
