Ray,
I realize you have suggested this before, but unfortunately it is a bad idea. When document A is held up by a normative reference to B, A and B must be published together. It is not at all unusual for some inconsistency between A and B to show up at the very last minute. Therefore, it is unreasonable and undesirable to say that A must be fully ready to publish before B is done. Furthermore, it seems to be forcing a particular resource allocation on the pub service with no gain, but rather a loss of flexibility and therefore efficiency. If you accept that the pub service has the same goal that the IAD/IASA/IETF has -- publishing documents as quickly and efficiently as possible -- then imposing arbitrary scheduling rules like this cannot be a useful thing to do.
