Just some followups:

Re filters: As Paul already joked, I obviously do use an e-mail 
client with filters. But of course the problem is that filters don't 
stop the intial problem, which is an awful lot of traffic through my 
poor little server. Even worse, when I am on the road and over a 
lowly 33.6K link, downloading the hundreds of I-D announcements just 
to filter them only serves to slow down the whole process.

Re "everyone should read the drafts anyway": WGs always get the 
announcements for the WG drafts, so I always read the one's for WGs 
with which I am involved. Other drafts can be dealt with by the 
occasional search. Those who really have lots of time on their hands 
can subscribe to the I-D announce list.

Re announcing all documents separately: Since RFC's are not nearly as 
numerous, and I am interested to see what's been finalized and 
published in all areas, I wouldn't be in favor of that split.

And again, this might significantly cut traffic out of the secretariat.

Any other objections to such a move?
