I don't really see any point in expressing support for a document during
IETF last call unless it is as a rejoinder to some valid expression of
non-support. A valid expression of non-support would point out some
technical point that either was not considered by the working group, or
was considered, but the working group wasn't competent to evaluate the
question. Or it would point out some process failure that occurred in
the working group.
Even if you review the document during IETF last call, unless you find a
problem with it there's not much point in saying anything.
I don't think there is another way to indicate you've reviewed a draft and
found no issues. Surely rough concensus must include confidence that
that silence means more than ignorance and I'm not aware of any mechanism
to evaluate the level of review exercised during last call.
