If the process, tools, responsibility and incentives for IESG Approval

large in the eye of the finder.

I agree. Professional staff can be very good at finding editorial /
grammatical problems. However, the RFC editor's staff already does a
good job of this, and I don't think that these are the sorts of issues
that are causing delays in IESG review of documents.

If the RFC editor will find these errors, then I suggest to move their
review to an earlier stage and/or instruct the IESG to focus on the
content, not editorial issues.

Belgium: an unsolvable problem, discussed in endless meetings, with no
         hope for a solution, where everybody still lives happily.
