ISSUE: Document subseries name for IETF Administration

John, speaking strictly for myself, I find this issue at most
unimportant.  I don't see that we have a problem with the present
situation, and I wonder why the IETF should spend any of its
cycles trying to fix something that is not broken.  Goodness
knows, there are lots of (technical) things that ARE broken
in the IETF sphere.
