One of the assumptions here is that discussion without editorial
discretion can add color to static informaion. While the case for that
can certainly be made, we have abundant evidence of it not doing so in
the context of ietf mailing lists.

RFC's (WG documents in general) are the editorial filter through which
we pass/preserve the contributed discussion that is deemed informative.
