I'm confused.  I would have thought that the existing paragraph:

1.2 Working Group Authority and Consensus
...
At times, a document author/editor can appear to have considerable 
authority over content, but this is (merely) for efficiency. That is, 
the chairs can permit authors and editors to proceed with an implied 
(default) working group agreement, as long as the working group is 
comfortable with that mode...

and all of Section 3, deal with this concern sufficiently.
