Oh, one thing I now realise is that the draft doesn't state that the editor (in deciding what changes to adopt) and the IESG (in approving an update) will of course do so by a normal IETF consensus process (presumably ad hoc last calls) and subject to appeal like anything else. This is so obvious in the IETF context that I didn't even notice that it wasn't stated. The sentence that should state it belongs about here: "The Tao has traditionally been an IETF consensus document, which means that the IESG has had the final say about what the Tao contained before it was sent to the RFC Editor. Thus, the IESG should have final say for what the Tao says when it is a web page." The IESG's "final say" is of course always in the context of determining IETF consensus.
