In theory having separate documents is useless.

In practice having separate documents is extremely useful, because it turns
out that it's much easier to agree on "here's what I saw" than on "here's
what to do about it". In a consensus-oriented body like the IETF, there's
no output until people agree, so attempting to document both a problem and
a solution at the same time can take months or even years longer than
documenting the two separately.
