I would support a requirement that in the case where there are enough
abstain positions to prevent a document from going forward, then each AD
with an abstain position MUST write a comment explaining why they are
abstaining. 

Of course, in this case each of the abstain positions *does* already (at
least now) have a note explaining why.
