In my opinion, if the IETF could make it worth someone's while in one
way or another to do a thorough review, that would help a lot.

I very much agree with this

I think this is the way to improve quality
there have been some initiatives for this, see
http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-handley-doc-market-00.txt but i
guess it didn't progress...

we should try to figure out some mechanisms to foster reviews... do you
have any ideas?


The first effort was the SIRS project, that was declared a failure after only 4
months (most of which were during the summer) in spite of recruiting a
substantial list of highly experienced participants.  The second was a working
group that took a year to develop a scheme that was essentially identical to
sirs, but did a nice job of dissipating community energy for the effort.

The "incentive" that something like SIRS offered was classification as a senior
contributor.  This was neither a small point nor a small benefit (IMO).
