There might be an assumption here, and I'm sure that in most cases a draft that is the product of a formalized DT will be adopted.  But it's a bad assumption.

The only true measure here is that the WG has consensus to adopt.  I'm surprised that the draft doesn't put that up front.  It's there, but buried.  Given that this is the yardstick that has been uniformly used - at least in my experience - I think it would be remiss not to mention it.

BTW, I think that the general concept is fine, just not this DT point.
