Dave, One of your comments seems to apply to the effectiveness of having an early submission deadline. What is the point of monkeying around with early submission deadlines when they are not very effective anyway? There seems to be two elements to your argument: that the rule

It would seem to me that this could be pushed to a degree onto the AD's - late submissions (up to the point allowed by the machinery) would be accepted on the request of the WG Chair and the concurrence of one of the WG AD's. I have certainly seen cases where such flexibility would have

1) Allow the Secretariat time to post all on-time submissions; As I recall, this was the primary reason for originally imposing the limit. That is why I explicitly stated the requirement that automated I-D processing be supported. 2) Allow for some time to read the IDs

If I understand the two choices you present are: 1) the wg has to decide to overrule a default deadline; 2) the wg has to decide on all of its own deadlines. It seems to me (granted I have limited experience) that the administrative overhead is actually higher in the second case
