Re: issue with the URLs in the ID boilerplate

Let's try a different approach. Instead of saying "Internet-Drafts come from the IETF but maybe also elsewhere", let's go back to saying that IDs are IETF docs but others may write stuff that looks like IDs (but aren't). That solves that issue and is maybe also overall
cleaner:

  Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
  Task Force (IETF).  Other groups may distribute documents that look
  like Internet-Drafts, but are not IETF documents.  The IETF
  Internet-Drafts repository is at http://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/.

  Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
  and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
  time.  It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
  material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
