The difference is important. Rejecting all purple documents on Wednesday is a well defined (albeit silly) policy. Since such a policy can be articulated, it can be discussed and rejected by the IETF community. Rejecting *some* documents that do not use RFC 2606 while approving others is more dangerous, since it is not a policy at all, but rather, a whim that "seemed like the right thing to do at the moment".
