Another comment: IMHO it seems ludicurous that all the I-D's should 
include an IANA Considerations section, even if the document requests 
nothing of IANA.

Suggestion to fix this: change the policy so that if the document 
requires any action from the IANA, IANA Considerations section MUST be 
present.  Otherwise, no action of IANA is assumed.  (Previously, IANA 
Considerations has only been required if IANA has been required to 
create a new registry, assigning numbers could be done without the 
IANA Considerations section as well.)
