If I may read between the lines here, it sounds like you're suggesting some 
sort of reality-check process that is more lightweight than a full appeal. 
Informally, we have that -- if one AD is giving me a hard time for a dumb 
reason, I can ask another AD to try to talk some sense into them.  But that 
only works if the participant has a good relationship with another AD, and 
while you hope that's true for WG chairs, that might not always be good 
enough.

So maybe your concern would be addressed by some sort of "discuss override" 
mechanism, by which the IESG could actively decide that a discuss is 
inappropriate and disregard it.  Such a mechanism would have to be invoked 
explicitly, and would perhaps involve a consensus call by the IESG chair...
