My person experience with advancing documents is that downrefs are a significant hindrance. As you point out, procedures have been adopted to permit downrefs, but they are not sufficient. We often see Last Call repeated just to resolve a downref that was caught very late in the process. These intoduce delay, and they almost never produce a single comment from the community.

Maybe we should find out why we actually ever start a LC with unexpected downrefs... I think we have at least two tools to check for those.

Sometimes references get reclassified during IESG review and this causes downrefs. I've certainly caused this several times.
