When a document shepherd does answer the questions of RFC4848 in section 3.1, then the shepherd (often WG chair) is asked to confirm that he did check of the document to meet the ID-Checklist (see question 1.g on page 6). So it happens BEFORE one or many ADs go spend a lot of time on the document. And it was specifically intended to NOT cause surprised and to prepare the document in a good shape before being submitted for review by many people outside the WG.
