I'll add that it's the goal of AppsAWG to help the process, not to
make extra work and hinder things.  Without it, the document editors
have to make sure the document gets sufficient review, convince an
Area Director to sponsor it, and deal with a four-week IETF last call.
 With it, the working group is here to review the document, and the
document shepherd (one of the chairs or someone we assign) will assess
the quality of review, we already have approval from the Area
Directors to go ahead, and there's a two-week last call when we send
it up.

If the WG is putting undue extra process in the way, we're doing
something wrong, and that's something we should discuss.  Let's start
by seeing how smoothly a few more documents go (the first two went
well, I think).
