Given the number of different working groups that have produced
diffiult to read documents for RFC publication,
the indications are that we are missing some necessary ingredient for
achieving this within the working group process.
I do not know if we lack the skills, incentives, or resources, but
history indicates that we frequently have produced documents that
still need significant editing.
While having a goal of improving this makes good sense, I think we
need to work from the WG end, not the editor end. Until we are
producing better results, we can not cut down on the editing process.
Yours,

What I HAVE said is that the process of getting and demonstrating sufficient
community support should include requiring acceptable writing of the
specifications. If an effort is not able to recruit sufficient resources for
that task, then I frankly question whether it has sufficient market "pull" to
succeed.
