I would say this differently.  IMO it's the job of the document editor 
to write coherent text that attempts to capture the consensus of the 
working group.

If a WG is making consensus calls about what specific text should appear 
in a document early in that document's evolution, IMO the WG is 
micromanaging the author.   The WG has the right to do this (IMO) and 
maybe sometime it's the only way to make progress, but it's likely to 
result in a stilted document that has internal inconsistencies and takes 
longer to finish.   Assuming that there's a capable document editor, of 
course.
