Making an example of a document does not constitute development

For example, what happens if IPR disclosure occurs after RFC publication?
This is not an abstract question -- there are cases in which IPR
disclosure has occurred after a document was published as a Proposed
Standard - RFC 3588 is an example.
Short of requiring all contributors to sign something contractual prior to
publication -- and even that would not provide anything close to perfect
protection -- what could a policy do to mitigate against this kind of threat
to the process?
