I believe we need to end up, minimally, with roughly what
we have today at the front of an I-D, and statement at the
back saying approximately:

  If published as an RFC, this document will incorporate
  all the formal notices, including IETF Trust copyright
  and disclaimer of warranty, whose latest version can be
  found at <somewhere>.

(let's not wordsmith those words here and now; this is
just to indicate the level of detail I think we need.)
