Yes, it is reasonable.

I don't think I have a good answer to that as I do not know much 
about the www.ietf.org requirements.  I would have to look at what 
information is published and also consider the constraints.

It can be considered stable.  I assume that it won't be 
http://datatracker[1-9].ietf.org/drafts/ or that the datatracker host 
won't be an internal resource in future.  There was an discussion 
about draft-hammer-hostmeta which may be of interest to anyone who 
would like to read more about well-known locations.

As the change you suggested looks simple, please do consider not 
taking my comments into account.
