If your answer is "Nothing", then how do you read IETF consensus for a document that gets no response in its Last Call? The XSF's stance is often "It got nothing in Last Call, it shouldn't advance", which seems reasonable to me - I don't think defaulting to publication is right - certainly not in every case. My suggestion was simply to ask for what you want in the Last Call. I have a modest suggestion for you: read the rest of the message from Pete that you just replied to, in which he answers each of the questions you asked in your reply.
