Michael,
If an AD who was responsible for a WG came up with an issue
about that WG's work and raised it only during or after Last
Call, I'd expect either a really good explanation or a
resignation.
Surely this is going to happen all the time since the DISCUSS might well be the
result of comments brought up on the IETF mailing list which the responsible AD
might be expected to take notice of.
It is an IETF last call, not an IESG affair. Or at least so is the theory.
With regard to textual nit-picking and evaluation of
worthiness of prose, I tend to agree with what I think you
are saying.
However, if a document is too badly written to permit
interoperable implementations to be constructed without
clarifying conversations among implementers, authors, and/or
the WG, then the document is a failure and needs pushback.
I think it depends on whether we are talking about Proposed or Draft.
