[Icar] early, middle, or late

[Brian E Carpenter <brc at zurich.ibm.com>]

The meeting minutes say:

>       Are we doing early or late reviews? This document is focused
>       on early review - the hope is that this helps with late
>       reviews as well

I'd like to add that I've thought for some time that we need early, middle
and late reviews:

early: to detect major conceptual or architectural problems

middle: to check that things are coming together well (e.g. that
the security considerations have influenced the design rather than
being an afterthought, that comments made in the early review
have been addressed, etc.)

late: that technical issues have been resolved, that additional
items like IANA considerations have been dealt with, and general
form and content issues.

(needless to say, the middle and late reviews should include
a sanity check that the previous reviews didn't miss any big
problems.)
