I think documents that describe how the IETF got to decisions can be
useful, providing useful insights to why things emerged.

However, I think they are more usefully published as an RFC when the WG
heads towards the end of the design process - when its can be clearer what
they need to contain - an ID can exist and evolve to capture the inputs as
the WG heads towards its milestones.
