I agree.  While both submission of the document and approval by the chair 
are necessary, there's no reason to require a particular order.  If I'm not 
available to approve a new document (say, because I'm on a train returning 
from an IETF meeting), the system should wait until I can deal.  It should 
_not_ force the submitter to wait -- computers are much better at waiting 
than people are.
