(4) Others (probably a partially overlapping group with (3))
just find more rules and requirements for more boilerplate
undesirable.  They would (at least mostly) be happy if lots of
off-list notes went to authors of I-Ds for which the discussion
forum wasn't clear, asking them about the discussion forum and
recommending that it be included in the next draft.   That might
actually encourage discussion and would be as, or more,
effective at retraining authors than more rules.

This is my preference.  If the author(s) don't include a "discuss this here" 
section, then they're inviting direct comments, and maybe that's what they 
prefer.  If not, they will quickly learn to either find or create a forum, 
even if that's just ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org, and mention such in the draft.
