...and then someone else rewrites the document and resubmits it. If
they're straightforward about it, it's obviously the same document, and
the IESG has to decide whether to apply the rule. If they change it
enough to be a different document, then they probably insert their own
biases, and the WG has to argue it out again. No net gain.
