Re: Proposed change to draft-kindberg-tag-uri: tags and "newsml" URNs

I don't think there can be a "next draft" at this point.  
Draft-kindberg-tag-uri-07 was approved by the IETF a few days ago [1],  
and as far as I know, an internet-draft can't be updated once it's  
approved for publication as an RFC.
