was left in by accident. It should not be there. However it was an attempt to
capture a requirement originating from
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-eronen-rfc-selective-experiment-00.txt.
The goals of this draft probably can be formulated in different ways.
1/ requirement to publish (chunks of) text verbatim,
because they have been adequately reviewed and arrived
at by some careful negotiation.
2/ requirement to adjust the level of editorial scrutiny
applied by the RFC Editor
The question is: Do we want to capture the requirement for editorial steering
at all and if so what formulation of the requirement is better.
Personal opinion: Yes. I would suggest something like:
When the approving body (IESG, IRSG or IAB) indicates satisfaction with the
stylistic quality
of a draft, the publisher should limit editing to non-stylistic aspects.
When the approving body indicates that given text must be published verbatim,
the
publisher shall do so.
