FWIW I think the principle went beyond just observation.  I remember 
Phil Gross saying, when he was IETF Chair, that the IETF didn't check 
badges at meeting room doors since it was more important to have good 
technical contribution than to block those who couldn't pay.  Of course, 
this didn't mean allowing anonymous contributions or that those that 
payed weren't subsidizing those who didn't.

I personally see having documented fee waivers as consistent with this 
early un-published principle on not checking badges.
