Can you say more here?  How do you know these problems are being missed?  When 
you write "missed by the reviews that are currently done", do you mean missed 
altogether or missed by, say, the WG review and picked up in IESG review?

Given the number of problems I see in some documents during Int-Dir or Gen-ART, 
I'm sure there are more problems that I'm not picking up.  It's a reasonable 
inference that there are problems not caught by any of our reviews.  I'm 
curious about specifics...
