I agree, the current wording is too strong.  Even if IETF decides to go down the pre-approval review route, it is not clear what documents you would use it on.  It is certainly a stretch to assume all WG docs would be pre-approved.  It is also unclear that it is only WG docs that could have pre-approval review.  I will change the wording to indicate that is it something the technical publisher should do when requested by appropriate technical representatives.
