SM, I have trouble understanding the question you are asking.
During and after the IETF LC, questions were asked about the document. 
Being proactive, the WG (authors and chairs) have been proactive in 
addressing the questions (many from the IESG).  This seems to be not 
only appropriate, but highly desirable.  Given that the WG has been 
copied on the emails about the topics and changes, if the WG objects 
they can speak up.

What is it you are objecting to?
Yours,
Joel

PS: While I have a lot of concerns about the push to use git / github, 
Martin and the WG have been very fair and effective about the process 
they are using, and it fits with IETF process.
