Although that's correct, some documents really deserve a revision.  I, 
for one, would be interested in completing the work defined by the 
existing issues.

Documents that need no editing need no advancement, /if/ that proposal 
passes.  For those cases, it is possible that the IESG has to actually 
work more than the WG in order to produce an advancement, so the 
decision could be left with them...
