RE: Call for review of proposed update to ID-Checklist

Mmm... as editor of the document, maybe I should explain how this document
came into existence several years ago. It was back then that the IESG got
many many documents that had a lot of these simple (and easy to fix) 
issues. Some look like showstoppers, others are not so much showstoppers, 
but they do take extra time (of many people) if they need to be fixed 
once the document goes into IETF Last Call. So in order to try and make
doument authors/editors and also WG chairs aware of what the many 
little errors were that we as IESG often saw, we composed this document.

Hope this helps,

Bert Wijnen

The document says:

"If ABNF is used, you MUST include a normative reference to RFC 4234."

To quote two fine radio personalities here in the states, this one 
seems "boooooooooogus". Yes, any I-D that uses ABNF must include a 
normative reference to RFC 4234, but for the IESG to not engage in 
review until it is in there is silly beyond belief. Make a note to 
the author that they need the reference and continue consideration.
