Dear Randy,
I wander who you could have in mind? I am afraid you miss that a BCP 
is authoritative when approved by the IESG, not when published. At 
least, this is what you explained us for a key Draft where IETF 
claimed world leadership and responsibility in a new technical area, 
with IANA registries potentially so big that a directly concerned 
leader suggested considering porting the IANA somewhere else if ICANN 
could not fit the job.

What I ask is not what is people would prefer. I just ask for the 
RFCs which apply:
- can we favor one Draft over the others: where is that documented?
- can we publish a Draft which is under appeal: where is that documented?

Thank you for your help.
