[RAI] I-D's of former Sipping/Sip WG's

[Hadriel Kaplan <HKaplan at acmepacket.com>]

Howdy,
I have a question with the mechanics of the closing of the SIPPING/SIP WG's and mailing lists, with regards to Individual Drafts (I-D's).  Some of us have I-D's we submitted to the previous WG's before the transition, which we'd like to update.  For example a fictitious I-D like draft-smith-spipping-good-idea-05.  If Mr. Smith updates them to the appropriate new WG's using the new WG names and new number space (.e.g, draft-smith-dispatch-good-idea-00), won't he lose the automatic links in the tools HTML view of the previous drafts?  

That linking was a rather nice feature, both because it allowed one to create a fixed HTTP URL which one could give others which would auto-update to the latest rev, and because it allowed one to view diffs and such easily.  So now Mr. Smith would have to change the URL he'd been giving folks for some time, and it would lose the history.

Is there a way to avoid this? (and no, I'm not asking to port all I-D's from the closed groups)

If this is a major pain in the #$%*&, like it requires tools changes, then forget it.  Just more wondering if something already exists which lets me^H^H Mr.Smith submit a revved draft without the break.
