I will say that I'm not fond of the idea of requiring that WG chairs pre-approve the submission of -00 WG IDs, as a WG chair I'd rather be able to enforce me getting a chance to review the document first - I'm fine with letting a WG chair be able to pre approve but I do not think it should be the only way that the process should be able to work
I agree. While both submission of the document and approval by the chair are necessary, there's no reason to require a particular order. If I'm not available to approve a new document (say, because I'm on a train returning from an IETF meeting), the system should wait until I can deal. It should _not_ force the submitter to wait -- computers are much better at waiting than people are.
