Ben,

In general, if you want us to remember to do something about your comments, you need to open or update Trac tickets (discussion here before doing so is fine, of course).
that was my plan. post comments first, then generate tickets.
*1. Informal Introduction*

Why is this still an “informal” introduction? Doesn’t a standards track RFC deserve a real introduction :-)?


It is informal in that the treatment of the subject is informal. The remainder of the RFC is the formal part.
This is not a distinction we tend to make in RFCs. I don't recall seeing another RFC that has an introduction labelled as informal. See https://www.rfc-editor.org/policy.html

    The last paragraph in this section asserts that it is efficient
    for (unspecified parties, formerly known as Auditors) to detect
    log misbehavior, but does not provide evidence that such detection
    is, in fact, efficient.


However, the remainder of the document does. If we turn the introduction into a formal treatment, it becomes the whole document. And then we need to write a new introduction.
no, just add a pointer to the place in the doc where you believe the assertion is substantiated.

Steve
