While, in theory, every draft can be reviewed, reviewing a document 
that is not ready/meant for review can be a waste of time or even 
annoying to the WG. Since IETF process assigns special value to -00 
versions drafts with respect to F2F meeting deadlines, reviewing those 
would be especially risky.

If all drafts had a "State of this draft" notices or at least "please 
review" flags, we could select drafts that are ready/meant for 
external review. Until then, I would suggest at least asking the WG 
whether they think a review of a given WG draft version would be 
useful.
