John,
* There is, as far as I know, no precedent for an
IETF-related body to announce a public comment period on a
document, make a series of "interim decisions" and announce
them five days before the end of that period, and then leave
the comment period termination date in place rather than
restarting the review on the revised document.
For a purely practical point of view: When I'm asked to review a document,
and before I start, the author realizes that a section needs to be modified,
then this is something I'd like to know. That saves me the time to review
something that is known to be changed anyway.
In WGLCs, this happens all the time. Comments are made, authors acknowledge
them and promise a new version.

Belgium: an unsolvable problem, discussed in endless meetings, with no
hope for a solution, where everybody still lives happily.
