This may not match practice from previous IESGs, since the conversation 
Benjamin is referring to was a request from the RFC Editor that came in 
after he was named to the IESG last March. I remember the conversation 
and thinking "that must be something the RPC has to deal with fairly 
frequently, because they rarely ask the IESG for help with stuff like 
this".

So, this might be news to at least some parts of the community.

I might also mention that changing things like this early means the 
number of changes that authors are looking at during AUTH48 would be 
smaller, allowing authors to be "more free to spot other potential 
issues" as well. I don't know about other areas, but the list of changes 
in some TSV drafts can be impressive.

And now I'm off to watch our short dogs dog-paddle to keep their muzzles 
out of the water (I kid, a little :-)
