I certainly understand that.

I have to note, however, that based on my past IETF work the initial 
proposal (regardless of how mature it looked like) was substantially 
changed afterwards and a significant amount of work was done as part of 
the working group process even though some folks believed that their 
document is already 80% finished at the time when it was submitted as a 
working group item. This probably reflect the 80:20 rule.
