offhand I don't recall many cases where we recycled at draft.  so I think the
cases where we'd recycle at proposed in order to avoid having the document go
to Standard would also be rare.

one thing I'd like to see us consider is to issue more applicabliity
statements, errata documents, and implementation notes, rather than
revising an entire document to accomodate minor changes.  we could do that
even for Standard documents.
