Some internet-drafts contain useful knowledge because they specify an existing protocol that never continued through the IETF process to reach the level of an informational standard. For example, TACACS+ is best specified in a dead internet-draft.

However, in most cases, internet-drafts are just that - drafts. They are usually requests for comment (ironically enough) on the author's idea. Someone had an idea and put it out there to see what other people think. Sometimes they don't even get to that stage but die immediately upon being uploaded as the author realizes they are silly.
