The cut off time for the I-D submission was 9 AM (ET), 2007-11-19. 
The I-D submission tool will be reopened at midnight, 2007-12-03, so I have to submit it after Dec 3.

Definitely agree. It's a common requirement for every id/loc split solution to take mapping registration/distribution security into account.
