I believe the wg chair needs to approve any docs of the form
draft-ietf-wgname-xxx-00.  So, these docs shouldn't be surprises.  But
having the wg name in the filename can be helpful in allowing people
to find related work.  I find it useful to have non-wg drafts take the
format draft-author-wgname-xxx.  Note the lack of 'ietf' in the
filename.
