Ditto for the ADs themselves.

Has this a real importance? The control is by IETF as a whole, _if_ rough 
consensus is the rule. What is expected from ADs is to make sure that what 
is proposed meets a rough consensus. This could possibly include commenting 
their concerns before the Last Call if they feel it necessary. This may 
include their advise. They should however _never_ consider anything else 
than consensus. If they have other concerns they should join the WG.

That is *not* how things are done today. As I mentioned before "rough 
consensus" goes only up to a certain point, but after that point the IETF
operates solely by a decree from the IESG.
