This would be great if everyone just wanted to state their stance and be done with it. It reminds me of the election pamphlets that my state sends out to inform voters of what the upcoming ballet measures are and what various folks’ for/against arguments are. But those arguments are collected in advance and there is only a single edition printed, so there are no direct responses. I’m not sure how well this format would work with the back-and-forth that usually happens in RFC discussions.
Will folks need to summarize (and respond to) all the arguments they want to address in their addition, and keep updating it as new arguments come in to which they want to respond? Will they be able to link to others’ comments and respond to them that way? And if they can link, what will stop these sections from becoming piles of spaghetti? Would folks wait until near the end of the discussion period to make their additions to avoid repeat visits, and how would that affect the discussion? -Bob
