Yes, and you also appoint editors, and pick drafts as official
WG drafts (at least for the -00 version), and maybe it's also
your job to tickle the AD if something's ready for "last call".

But you don't _edit_ - only the editors edit (later with the
help of the RfC editor).  The IESG can add notes.  AFAIK you
can't add notes or edit.  Maybe you could appoint yourself as
editor, but that's an odd idea, it would skip a complete step
in the checks ad balances.

In their "48 hours" the authors can still fix typos.  And the
RfC editor probably tries to catch formal problems, otherwise
they'd simply attach numbers and publish after approval, and
there would be almost no queue delay, let alone four months.

In the case where I tried to find out what happened it was a
note to the RfC editor to remove a critical "NOT RECOMMENDED".
Now it's a complete chapter.  And of course "NOT RECOMMENDED".

                              Bye, Frank
