Those are the LEAST effective ways of contributing to a document, the 
LEAST likely to produce an improvement, and also the most annoying ways 
of contributing that are likely in practice to create pushback and limit 
one's effectiveness in IETF overall. Yes, they're useful as last 
resorts, but the fact that they exist is not a justification for 
crippling most potential contributors.
