Adhering to the principles of oversight rather than control, I would 
imagine that the IESG would tell the editor to use his best judgment, 
and if they don't like his judgment, they'll replace him.
But then I'm an optimist :-)

ObDraftComment: I support the draft.
ObMinorTweak: I think the URL structure for the dated versions is not 
the best one, because it requires all Tao versions to be in the root 
namespace of the IETF web service.

I would prefer that they be named 
www.ietf.org/tao/archive/YYYY-MM-DD.html, which would also give rise to 
a presumption that one could list all versions by going to 
www.ietf.org/tao/archive.
I'd even support the reference to the archive being in the Tao itself, 
making another layer of indirection possible. But the ability to say 
"the Tao said THIS on Feb 16, 2013" is important.

Yours for more nits in the Last Call process :-)
