And, with the advent of the online I-D submission tool (coming soon?) this 
will be reduced somewhat.

In fact, since we want to encourage the propagation of ideas and the 
development of new standards, should the IETF be paying for every I-D that 
is published? This would tie in with the $200 that WG chairs get for every 
RFC that their working group produces.
