I don't see that text either.  I suspect it was omitted because 
of the possibility of denial of service attacks on getting 
standards out (Scott Bradner, a comment on this might be 
helpful).   But, because publication of this with an implied 
recommendation to implement would make any subsequent action on 
an appeal essentially moot, your common sense solution is 
appreciated.
