My person experience with advancing documents is that downrefs are a 
significant hindrance.  As you point out, procedures have been adopted to 
permit downrefs, but they are not sufficient.  We often see Last Call repeated 
just to resolve a downref that was caught very late in the process.  These 
intoduce delay, and they almost never produce a single comment from the 
community.

Maybe we should find out why we actually ever start a LC with unexpected downrefs... I think we have at least two tools to check for those.

Best regards, Julian
