As you all can see, the ID-Checklist in fact DOES refer to
the rfc2223bis at many places. It has now been updated (in my copy)
to point to the RFC-Editor-Style Manual. Specifically section 2
discusses this, and sect 2.1 starts out by stating:
In principle, the RFC-Editor can take care of a few small formatting
errors.
And if there are only a few, then they will do so. However, if many
errors
exist, the document will be returned to the author(s)/editor(s)/WG for
fixes.
In any event, please realize that not following the formatting rules will
most
probably delay publication and does consume time that can be spend on
other work.
It could be made clearer that the ID-Checklist is specifically intended for
final I-Ds that are submitted to an AD, i.e. a request for publication
to the AD/IESG.
The first Note in the Introduction section does say so.
But to be more clear, I have changed the fuirst sentence of sect 1.
from
All Internet Drafts which are offered for publication as RFCs
into
All Internet Drafts which are offered to an AD or the IESG with a
request
for publication as RFC
I hope that clarifies.

Small point of confusion: I thought the RFC document series was
managed with some independence of the IETF. As such, I'm not clear how
the IETF (nevermind the IESG) can set the rules for RFC format and style.
I view the id-checklist as a gating factor for IESG review, not as
instructions to the RFC Editor. Of course it should be consistent
with the RFC Editor's practice, as a matter of common sense. The
introduction should make this clear, perhaps.
