yes. As early to start watching a proposal, the easier it is also to 
discuss about it, avoind the "but the WG already extensively discussed 
this and agreed, why you now want to change it?" - it just happened in my 
last review for example.

one per week (per each individual) is really a lot, expecially if it comes 
from non-apps areas. You need some time to focus what the specification 
purpouse is, ... and often the "hey but this is going to have consequences 
here!" does not come after a first reading, but after "some meditation in 
the shower", when the how water runs out :-)

The idea is a good one, but I'd say 1 doc per month is defintly more 
likely to be fulfiled.
