That remark suggests to me that John's proposal of iterative work is
justified.  If there are fundamental disagreements about policy and
interpretation, and not just picky details, that are coming out in the
short review period allotted, then presumably there are deep
disagreements that need to be worked out before the wider IETF can be
expected to agree to some policy.
