I disagree.  Becaause there are too many drafts to read, every good
filter is valuable.  If the author doesn't know enough to use acronyms
in the title properly, then chances are the draft itself won't be
readable for additional reasons.  Unreadable drafts and RFCs are less
likely to be widely implemented.  Even when they are widely implemented,
life is too short.
