I do not understand this issue

1/ the author has that right now and has had that right - this is
not restricted by the IETF or RFC Editor in any way by publishing an 
ID or a RFC

2/ if a publication currently thinks that an ID is a previous publication
I doubt that there is anything we can do about it
