Re: IDs in "GEN" area, not owned by Harald

I had thought that ADs updated the area when taking over the document, but I guess I had not thought seriously about it; I haven't started using the "search by area" feature much.

Are there corner cases here, where, for instance, the logical area is a different one from the area the AD manages?
If so, the logical course might be to leave it to the discretion of the AD.
If not, telling the secretariat to update the area when updating the shepherding AD for these docs is reasonable.

The secretariat apparently takes ID submissions via the RFC editor and

Me thinks it's a bug to have such IDs owned by (say) me and listed
under general. (For one thing, I sometimes don't see these, because I
don't search for IDs I own that are outside of INT.) Suggestion:

1) each of us go look at the IDs in GEN owned by us (a simple query
   will list those) and update the Area as appropriate for those
documents.

2) Instruct the secretariat to update the area upon
   reassignment. Indeed, I wonder if the right process is to a new
   "area" to tracker called "unspecified", which is a placeholder
   until the right area can be found.

Thoughts?
