Even I-Ds tend to be used in a more formal way, now, making them more 
representative of RFC development snapshots than of comment indicators, 
which are handled in email and meetings.

There is, occasionally, an I-D done as a comment on other work -- with 
no intent for RFC publication -- but that's extremely rare.
