Agree totally with Chris here.

    I sort of got this feeling as well.

only basis on which a decision to adopt/not adopt should be made. The fact that 
you keep refreshing/updating the draft carries no weight.

    Speaking as a WG chair here -- this is spot on. Drafts may exist and be 
commented on by a WG for years, with the authors making edits they feel address 
some or all of those comments. The fact that the draft keeps being revised and 
resubmitted does not imply that it is somehow ready for adoption or that the WG 
is required to do so. It is not a guarantee that it will achieve 
standardization. It may be that through revision it gets there, and it may be 
that it doesn't. 

    Consider that there are plenty of drafts that are submitted and adopted 
based on their first submission. Sometimes in very little time indeed -- this 
happens when there's an obvious problem that needs solving, the proposed 
solution is very good and everyone in the WG clearly agrees on it.

    Thanks,
    Chris.
