And I did ALWAYS check the XML file by generating an I-D out of it, comparing it with the I-D we were supposed to be submitting XML for, and whenever there was a mismatch, flags would get raised and diffs would be carefully checked. I agree, once the IESG approves a doc, any changes should be handled very carefully. What seems editorial to one person may not seem so to someone else.
