This may be a "convenient fiction", but I always understood that the 
breakfasts for IAB and IESG are provided not to honor them, but rather 
to allow them to do the necessary work they do for the rest of us over a 
meal instead of making them wake up at even more ungodly hours for their 
meetings. And usually the meals they get for breakfast have a more 
limited menu than the hotel restaurant when breakfast is included for 
everyone.
