That, I think, is the point of "as directed by the IETF." It makes it
clear where the policy comes from.

Yeah, I understand the policy part. I'm asking why we want to continue to
have these indexes on a site that's not ietf.org.
I don't know if we will ever do anything with ISDs or SRDs (or any other
metadata grouping), but if this ever happens, it seems like we'll have a lot
more activity with STD-like indexes than we've had thus far. If the
technical publisher was responsible for making sure that our specifications
were available to the community, and IETF was responsible for making sure
that the specifications were correctly classified and grouped, that would
make sense to me. That's not the only way that makes sense, I'm sure.
I'm just trying to understand what the goal of having the technical
publisher maintain these indexes is.
Thanks,
Spencer
