I disagree that it is always sensible to hold publication until the
appeal is resolved, particularly for expedited publication drafts.

We've had some very bogus appeals and writing up the responses is not
always our top priority.

I agree that it is almost always desirable to delay publication once
an appeal is filed.

One critical assumption in my evaluation is that RFCs can be
withdrawn.  I'm quite confident that given a court order the RFC
editor, the IETF website, etc, would find a way to remove an RFC.  As
such, we as a community can establish our own processes for
withdrawing an RFC.
