At some point decisions have to be made though, and someone will end up
on the rough side of consensus in the WG.  There could be (will be!)
appeals.  Lastly, the IESG could also decline to allow such a WG item to
get published.  This would all be much easier if the authors would just
go the ISE Informational route.  Then only the IESG needs to decide
anything -- either way the IESG will be the last stop for this train.

Better skip the Q/A at the WG meeting -- it makes no difference as to
determining consensus, and no one needs the other side screaming bloody
murder and judging one a moron or evil.  It won't be worthy of popcorn.
Just boring, oh so boring.
