Subject: [Tools-discuss] Fwd: Re: What should happen when a WG adopts an individual I-D?

This came up in a discussion on the WG chairs list:

For diffs on the tools site, if there's a "replaced-by" relationship, 
and the draft is a bis version of an RFC, why does selecting a diff from 
the -00 version of the draft use the original RFC, and not the last 
version of the previous draft in the replaced-by chain?

An example is 
http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-iri-3987bis-00.txt, it 
produces a diff to RFC 3987 (which is quite big because there were a lot 
of changes over various individual drafts). I would expect a diff to 
draft-duerst-iri-bis-07.txt (because that's the last version of the 
draft that was replaced by draft-ietf-iri-3987bis).

Regards,    Martin.
