One way is to have more than one Internet Draft from individuals, and 
another way is to have a single draft that lists all the alternatives 
and discusses pros and cons of each. I guess the latter approach is 
sometimes used by working groups, but we don't currently have a 
Stringprep working group. Thoughts?
