Subject: (pre-)approval deadline for -00 drafts?

Colleagues,

a draft author waiting for a WG statement on document adoption noted that
"important meeting dates" <http://www.ietf.org/meeting/cutoff-dates-2013.html>
lists two distinct deadlines

  2013-02-11 (Monday): Working Group Chair approval for initial document (Version -00) submissions appreciated by UTC 24:00.
  2013-02-18 (Monday): Internet Draft Cut-off for initial document (-00) submission by UTC 24:00, upload using IETF ID Submission Tool.

With the web based (pre-)approval available, I wonder whether the first deadline
still makes sense.
