Just one bit here that Joel has touched on, but that I want to say clearly:

1. It's absolutely right to say that &WG (be that TSVWG or any other)
needs to review a document that's being put forth for IETF consensus.

2. It's absolutely right to say that the comments that result from
that review need to be addressed.

3. I believe it is *not* right to say that the document cannot go
forward unless &WG accepts it as a working group product.  If they do,
that's very nice.  If they reject it because of fundamental flaws that
have not been adequately addressed, then loop back to #2.  But if they
simply don't want it, that isn't a valid reason to stop the document
from progressing.

I think we're likely in agreement on this, but, as I say, I want to
put it out there clearly.
