In Section 1:

   "The idea here is not to save the universe, nor to boil
    any oceans."

It's better to boil an ocean than to kill a fish.  :-)

   "1.  Working group last call (WGLC), IETF last call (IETF-LC) and Area
        Director (AD) review all run in parallel over the same two-week
        period."

You could skip the WGLC as you have the Last Call.

In Section 3:

   "2.  Where there are two or more WG chairs, all need to agree to fast-
        track processing."

That can be rolled into item 1.

Could you ask an AD to sponsor this draft and generate the Last Call?

P.S. Make the draft experimental.  Add a one-year timer.
