Having done my share of writing, and also having hired people to write for me, I entirely agree. You can't force people to write well by adding ever more detailed and nitpicky rules. If the problem is that RFCs aren't clear, or that they use words in misleading ways, the burden should be on the WGs that produce the drafts to fix them so that they say what they're trying to say better.
