As long as working groups are as siloed as they are, this is unlikely 
any WG that affects interests that are outside of its narrow scope.   
And it's very dangerous to assume that WGs are competent to produce high 
quality work in isolation at least with our current processes.   Though 
I'd certainly be in favor of some kind of explicit extra-WG review 
earlier in a WG's or document's lifespan.
