Sam:
I'll certainly remember this when reviewing documents you author;)
Seriously, I think most people would be really annoyed if I
wrote up a discuss of the form "this sucks for foo reason;
please coordinate with bar wg until they are happy then I'll
clear." They would be even more unhappy if I wrote up the more
realistic "please take this to bar wg and when they are happy
I'll re review."
Actually, I would consider a diplomatically-worded version of
the former very useful. The latter is the problem - it lacks
the reason the WG is being added as a hurdle.
IMO, anytime a doc is held-up via Discuss, the reason for the
discuss and the criteria under which it can be cleared should
both be required.
I fully agree with Joe, that kind of direct and concrete feedback
would at least make me much happier than what we have today, when
I have to find out myself whether there were any discuss comments,
who made them, hopefully to some degree understand what the issues
were about, and make qualified guesses on what I (as chair or
author) am expected to do to address them.
