This is simply not true.  All one needs to do is publish a
crucial document relevant to the working groups charter, 
and important to understanding the rest of the work, and
one will be inundated with questions.

The most productive way to deal with questions in a working
group is to answer them publicly on the list.  To avoid the
trip wire, however, most people woul simply answer specific
questions off-line.  That would be BAD.

Debate on work in progress is critical, must be in public
at least much of the time and will usually involve a small 
number of people - authors in particular - who simply must 
participate.  On several occasions, I have seen productive 
debate on critical drafts take more than a month in some
working groups.
