Bernard,
This comment isn't directed solely at you, but...
"RFC1286, RFC1493 and RFC 1525 apparently precede any specific IETF"
Note inconsistent spacing.
As a constituent, this is not what I want IAB (or IESG) members to spend
time on, nor is it something that reviewers need bring to the attention
of the entire organization.
As someone who reviews documents, I find that even though I am reviewing
for content and not proofreading, I do sometimes notice things like this.
Not pointing them out when I do would be silly. Splitting the minor
editorial issues into a separate list so they can be sent privately to the
author _would_ be a waste of time.
I'd agree that there would have been no need for Bernard to send that
comment alone to the entire IETF list. But it was a small part of a much
larger message which asked real, substantive questions, and which clearly
_should_ have gone to a wider audience.
